Despite cameras scattered on Menachem Begin and Kaplan Street, it took the police five days to arrest the suspect who stabbed the officer.
During a Justice for Rafael protest demonstration, the Tel Aviv police were not properly prepared and lost control. A Yarkon District traffic policeman who was in a circle far from the demonstration and engaged in security activity was stabbed in the shoulder with a sharp knife and evacuated to Ichilov Medical Center, and later that night was discharged.
The suspect fled the scene and the investigation was assigned to the Central Unit of the Tel Aviv District. Only yesterday did the police manage to understand who it was, and today the suspect in the stabbing was located and arrested together with another suspect in the Tel Aviv area.

The main suspect, a 23-year-old resident of Holon, was taken for interrogation on suspicion of attempted murder, along with the other suspect, a resident of the city.
District Commander Lt. Gen. Peretz Amar: "The stabbing and wounding of the policeman is a very serious incident, his capture proves that we have an excellent police force that acts professionally and strives for contact. Harming police officers crosses a red line and we will act to bring the offenders to the full extent of the law."
It should be noted that the police attribute attempted murder to the suspect himself, even though it involved one stab in the shoulder. Israel Hayom reported today that an indictment has been filed against a man who stabbed his neighbor in Tel Aviv in the heart for causing serious injury under aggravated circumstances. We'll fix it!
