The State Attorney's Office filed an indictment at the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court against street predator Yigal Buskila, 19, from Jerusalem, on three counts of false imprisonment, threats, assault causing actual bodily harm, assault, invasion of privacy and illegal possession of a knife. According to the indictment, in three separate incidents last August, Buskila approached minors (aged 10, 15 and 17) in Petah Tikva, Hadera and Be'er Sheva, presented himself as a released criminal and forced them to accompany him. In one case, he led 10-year-old Yehli to a shelter in Bnei Brak, and in another case he threatened minors and pulled out a knife. In another incident, he threatened a 15-year-old in Be'er Sheva to drive with him to Arad. When the boy went with him to a shelter at his request, Buskila pulled out a knife.
