Police in Ramla arrested seven teenagers on Sunday on suspicion of a severe assault on a man in his 20s in the Neot Shamir neighborhood. The incident, captured on video, shows the youths knocking the victim to the ground and repeatedly kicking him in the head and body for several seconds. A passerby attempted to intervene but the attackers continued their assault. The victim sustained minor injuries. The attack occurred around 3:00 PM. Police stated that officers from the Ramla station launched an accelerated investigation, quickly identifying and locating seven minor suspects. Five were brought in for questioning, and depending on the investigation's needs, they will be brought before a judge on Monday for an arrest extension hearing.
