Punch Shop Worker Arrested for Violently Attacking Elderly Customer in Afula
On the night of July 7, 2026, a 23-year-old resident of Nazareth was arrested for violently assaulting an elderly customer at a puncture repair shop in Afula. The incident began when the customer came to fix a flat tire and requested that the spare wheel be returned to its place after the repair. This request sparked a heated argument between the worker and the customer, which escalated into a brutal physical attack by the worker. Following a report of the assault, police from the Northern District arrived at the scene and detained the suspect. Authorities plan to request an extension of his detention at the Nazareth Magistrate's Court in Nof HaGalil.
