None
Police Internal Affairs filed an indictment against two former Border Police officers who attacked an unarmed Palestinian who was suspected of being a terrorist.
According to the indictment, the two arrived in the Christian Quarter in the Old City following a report of a stabbing attack.
When they noticed the complainant, they suspected that he was the assailant. They approached him and one of police officers hit him with the butt of his weapon, without informing him that he was being arrested or detained and without questioning him first. When the complainant asked the defendants to explain their actions, the defendants responded by cursing him and physically assaulted him with their fists and rifles.
