Fights in clubs have become commonplace.
However, a few weeks ago, according to an indictment submitted to the Tel Aviv District Court, a 21-year-old man from Modi'in ran over two security guards, one after the other, after a fight at the Haman 17 club in Tel Aviv, when he sped towards them with his car.
Eyewitnesses said that they thought it was a run-over attack.
According to the indictment, a few weeks ago, the defendant left the "Haoman 17" club in south Tel Aviv and together with another person entered the defendant's car, a few minutes after the defendant left the club, a fight took place between a group of revelers and security guards, during which one of the security guards was stabbed .
The participants of the fight started running towards Selma Street and the security guards followed them.
When the participants in the fight arrived at the intersection of Selma and Abarbanal streets, the accused and the other noticed them and got out of the vehicle.

A few seconds later, the defendant returned and joined the vehicle and the defendant began driving on Selma Road.
At the start of the journey, the accused accelerated his vehicle towards the group of security guards who were marching on the road.
In response, the security guard ran to the side, in order to escape the vehicle, and at the same time threw an iron barrier towards the vehicle.
The barrier hit the vehicle and shattered the windshield.
Immediately afterwards, the accused stopped on the side of the road and picked up three of the participants in the fight.
The defendant continued his journey, and made a U-turn at the intersection of Selma and Shalav streets, near the local gas station.
After that, the defendant accelerated the vehicle and started driving fast towards the security guard who was standing on the road and hit him head-on with his vehicle, the security guard was thrown into the air and thrown onto the road.
The defendant continued his journey, leaving the security guard behind lying on the road and then made another U-turn, a few meters later, stopped his vehicle for a few seconds and then accelerated the vehicle towards another security guard who was walking on the road at the same time and hit him with his vehicle and it was thrown into the air and thrown on the road.
The accused did not stop the vehicle in order to help the security guard and fled the scene, leaving behind him sprawled on the road.
In the request for detention until the end of the proceedings, it was stated that the eyewitnesses, who described the course of the incident and the running over of the security guards by the accused, described the vehicle traveling fast and noted that the running over seemed to be intentional and some of them even stated that they initially thought it was an attack.
The defendant himself admitted that he was the one who was driving the vehicle at the time of the incident, but claimed that he was attacked by the crowd, that the windshield of his vehicle was shattered and glass entered his eyes.
He also claimed that one of the security guards he ran over "jumped on his car" on purpose, because he didn't want to hurt him and didn't see that he hurt anyone.
He did not provide a logical explanation for the manner of his journey, the U-turns he performed, as well as the fact that he did not immediately flee the scene, and according to the prosecution, facts that do not agree with his claim that he did not see anything while driving.
