Police in Haifa have arrested a woman on suspicion of abusing a helpless minor in the city's Carmel Tzarfati neighborhood. The arrest followed a video circulating on social media that showed a woman leading a young child who was crawling on all fours, attached by a leash. A passerby noticed the unusual incident, filmed it, and reported it to the police. Responding officers from the Haifa station located and apprehended the suspect for questioning. Authorities 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, and the Haifa Municipality's social services are closely monitoring the case.
