He told Israel Hayom that he is still traumatized by seeing policemen and after the incident he did not work for about a month. "You know, there is still a little trauma, there is the fear of seeing the gathering of policemen.
Because you are afraid that you see a policeman on the street, even if you make the smallest mistake he will come and push you and beat you for no reason," said A. and added that it was noted that he cursed the policeman after pushing him for no reason.
"I was brutally attacked by the two policemen, I did not swear, but let's say that they claim that I cursed does not justify violence and arrest. It was not swearing, it was a response to their push.
