Police in Lod released dramatic security footage Tuesday showing a motorcyclist hitting and injuring an officer while attempting to evade a routine inspection. The incident occurred earlier that day in the Pardes Snir neighborhood during an initiative by Lod police officers. When officers attempted to stop the motorcyclist for a check, he allegedly tried to flee, striking one of the officers and causing minor injuries. The officer was taken for medical treatment.
Footage from a security camera captured the moment the officer jumped toward the motorcycle in an attempt to stop the rider. The motorcycle then collided with the officer, and both fell to the ground. The rider quickly got up, continued on his way, and fled the scene.
A second video released by the police showed the suspect's arrest following an extensive manhunt. Central District forces and Border Police officers launched a search operation immediately after the incident, employing operational and intelligence measures. The suspect, a Lod resident in his 20s, was located near the Triangle towns and taken into custody for questioning at the Lod station.
Authorities are expected to bring the suspect before a judge on Wednesday to request an extension of his detention pending the investigation's needs and findings.
