Coptic cleric says he will sue Israeli police

None

An Egyptian Coptic cleric who was mistreated during Orthodox Easter services is threatening to sue. 

A Video supplied to The Associated Press shows Israeli police shoving Arsanious el-Orshalimi and putting him in a headlock.

 

The incident took place during Orthodox Christian Holy Saturday in Jerusalem's Old City earlier this month. The event drew thousands of people to the area, and hundreds of Israeli police were on guard. (AP)
