A 59-year old Israeli motorist from Tel Aviv who strayed on Friday into Abu Dis, an Arab suburb of Jerusalem, was attacked by approximately 200 rock-throwing Palestinian rioters who succeeded in torching his car. The man was lightly injured before he was taken into custody by Palestinian police who held him while contacting the Israeli security administration.
The Israeli suffered a minor head injury, and two Palestinian Authority policemen were injured as well.
After being spared by PA security officials from a lynch mob in Abu Dis, the victim was immediately transferred to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem when he was handed over to the Israeli security personnel. The Israeli security forces who had arrived at the scene were attacked by the rioters.
Six Palestinian suspects in the attack on Friday were arrested by Israeli Border Police over Saturday night.
