Big Brother Star Arrested for Alleged Assault on Ex-Partner Extended

The arrest of a former "Big Brother" contestant, also a singer, was extended until Monday in Holon on suspicion of assaulting his ex-partner. According to the allegations, during an argument on Friday evening, the suspect chased the woman and grabbed her hand forcefully, causing a fracture in her left wrist. The suspect denies the assault, claiming the complainant was injured in a fall after snatching his phone. The incident occurred Friday evening, with a complaint filed the following day leading to the arrest.

Sources familiar with the details stated the suspect arrived at the complainant's apartment after she contacted him, reporting their shared son was injured. An argument ensued, and the complainant left the apartment. She claims the suspect ran after her and grabbed her hand tightly, presenting medical documents showing a fractured left wrist. Initial police reports described the suspect chasing and shouting at her.

The suspect, who has no prior criminal record, provided a different account to investigators. His attorney, Elad Peleg, stated the suspect does not live with the complainant and arrived at her request after she called reporting their young son was hurt. He completely denied the assault, asserting she attacked him and threw a glass at his head. He claimed she snatched his phone to check his messages, then fled, fell, and sustained her injuries. He also stated that any cut she had was from her fall.

The suspect further told investigators he has evidence the complainant accused him of infidelity and threatened to "entangle him" over it, describing the event as "Little Red Riding Hood." His phone has not yet been examined, and police confirmed his claims will be investigated. Police sought a five-day extension of his arrest, but the court extended it only until Monday.
