LONDON – An Israeli tourist was arrested in London Wednesday on suspicion that he was involved in a hit-and-run accident that killed a police officer, Ynet has learned.

 

The 37-year old officer was traveling home on his motorcycle when, at around 9:30 pm local time, a silver Volkswagen hit him. The accident, which took place in western London, was witnessed by several bystanders.

 

The driver fled the scene on foot, leaving two female passengers behind. They were interrogated by police and subsequently arrested for interfering with the investigation. The two were later released on bail.

 

Police then detained three suspects in connection with the case. The suspects were residing at an address in the north of the British capital. They are currently being held at the nearby precinct.

 

Police officials have asked eyewitnesses to come forth with any information that may assist in the apprehension of the culprit, and an autopsy is scheduled to take place on the officer's corpse.
