According to the indictment, and in parallel with documentation from a security camera, which was released last week, Dalaika noticed at the checkpoint, stopped the vehicle, engaged reverse gear, started speeding backwards and tried to make a U-turn towards Gush Etzion Street in order to escape from the police.
A policeman and a policewoman who were in one of the vehicles noticed the vehicle and started driving fast with the vehicle in its direction, in order to block it.
The policeman who was driving the car clung to the front of the vehicle and partially blocked it.
According to the indictment, at this point and when the vehicle stopped, the policeman opened the driver's door in the car with the intention of getting out of it, but then Dalika opened with an accelerated drive towards the car and the policeman, hitting the front of the car with the half-open door closed on the policeman's leg.
Then, the vehicle in which the three were traveling accelerated again, collided head-on with a car and hit a parked vehicle with its right side.
All this in order to break free from the blockage of the mobile, as the vehicle continued to drive in the direction of the traffic circle at the corner of Isfiya and Yosef Wiener streets.
The other policemen and inspectors who were at the checkpoint noticed what was happening and heard the policeman's cries and started running towards the vehicle and the car.
According to the indictment, Dalaika noticed them, continued his escape, tried to hit the policemen and inspectors who ran towards him, risked their lives and forced them to move aside to escape being hit by the vehicle.
Some of the policemen fired at the vehicle and one of the bullets hit Bashar Zubidat's head, fatally injuring him.
