The police tried to arrest the suspects in the theft of the car in Holon. The suspects crashed into a patrol car and fled the scene while the officers fired at them.
During the escape attempt, the two drove against the direction of traffic and hit a motorcyclist, causing his death. The rider was critically injured and after resuscitation attempts, he was pronounced dead. Last month, a young man from Nazareth was arrested after a police chase after driving without a license on Route 79, from the Shfar'am area towards the Mobil interchange.
