A 36-year-old resident of Nahariya died overnight Tuesday after police officers used a taser on him in Haifa. His death was pronounced about half an hour after he was brought to Rambam Hospital. The police stated that officers at the scene "observed a person disturbing the peace, and in order to restore order, they were forced to use a taser." The incident is being investigated by the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash). According to the Haifa Municipality, police were called following complaints that the man was acting erratically and causing a disturbance at a pizza shop in the neighborhood. It was also reported that a municipal inspector and a police officer were dispatched to the scene, and when they saw they could not control the situation, they called for backup.
