Teen Arrested for Brutal Bus Driver Assault in Beit Shemesh
Police have arrested a 15-year-old boy from Jerusalem on suspicion of assaulting a 48-year-old bus driver in Beit Shemesh on Tuesday. The driver was hospitalized in moderate condition following the attack.
Investigators launched an inquiry Tuesday evening after the suspect fled the scene. According to the allegations, the bus arrived at a square near H અarden Street in the city during the afternoon hours. The passenger then demanded that the driver open the door and allow him to disembark.
The driver explained that he was not permitted to stop there and could not endanger the passenger. In response, the suspect allegedly punched the driver repeatedly until he lost consciousness.
Authorities are expected to bring the suspect before a court on Wednesday to request an extension of his detention.
