Youth Arrested for Assaulting Grandfather Picking Up Grandchild from School in Bat Yam

The incident occurred on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 7, on Nili Alley in Bat Yam. The elderly victim had arrived in his car to pick up his grandson from school when the teenager, who was riding an electric scooter, demanded that he move his vehicle. The grandfather explained that he was unable to move due to other cars blocking the lane and causing a traffic jam.

According to the police, the teenager then approached the elderly man and punched him multiple times in the face and upper body. The victim sustained minor injuries and was transported for medical treatment.

Police officers from the Bat Yam station responded to the scene, gathered evidence, and identified the suspect. He was arrested on Thursday evening and taken for questioning. Authorities planned to request an extension of his detention during a court appearance on Friday, October 9, as the investigation continues.
