A police officer in Lod was lightly injured after being struck by a motorcyclist who then fled the scene. The incident occurred during a proactive operation by Lod police officers who attempted to stop the motorcyclist for a routine check. The rider refused to comply, sped away, and violently hit one of the officers. Security camera footage released by the police shows the officer jumping towards the motorcyclist in an attempt to stop him, after which the motorcycle hits the officer, and both fall to the road. The motorcyclist quickly got up, remounted his vehicle, and escaped.
