The State Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against Yitzhak Lidan, 19, from Ashdod, and another minor, for the attempted murder of a driver who honked at them. The indictment alleges that the two were riding an electric scooter in the middle of a road in Ashdod last month, obstructing traffic. When the driver behind them honked, they allegedly decided to attack him and began following his vehicle.
The minor reportedly got off the scooter, hit the car, and demanded the driver exit. Fearing the two, the driver attempted to flee by running a red light. However, upon reaching a parking lot and exiting his car, he saw them running towards him. During the ensuing confrontation, Lidan allegedly pulled out a knife and, along with the minor, chased the driver. After catching up to him, Lidan stabbed the driver four times in the abdomen, back, and chest, despite the victim's pleas to stop. The driver managed to get back to his car, but according to the charges, Lidan followed him and stabbed him twice more in the shoulder while the minor punched him. The two fled the scene, and the injured driver was taken to the hospital in serious condition, requiring emergency surgery. Both are accused of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.
