Police in Haifa have arrested a woman on suspicion of abusing a helpless minor in the city's Carmel Tzarfati neighborhood. The arrest followed the circulation of a video on social media showing the suspect leading a young child who was crawling on all fours, attached by a leash.

A passerby noticed the unusual incident, documented it, and reported it to the police. Officers from the Haifa station responded to the scene, located the suspect, and took her into custody for questioning. The police are expected to request an extension of her detention from the court on Tuesday, depending on the investigation's needs and findings.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation, which is ongoing. The Haifa Municipality's social services department is also closely monitoring the case.
