The woman who was filmed cutting the sideburns of a 10-year-old boy in Bnei Brak was arrested

 

The Israel Police located and arrested the suspect who cut the sideburns of a child in the city of Bnei Brak: Investigators from the Bnei Brak-Ramat Gan police opened an investigation on Tuesday after receiving a complaint about a woman who cut off the sideburns of a 10-year-old boy on Jerusalem Street in the city of Bnei Brak.

As mentioned the police located the suspect, a 33-year-old resident of Modi'in Illit (very Charedie City), and was brought for questioning at the police station for offenses of "simple assault" and "insulting religion."

In outrageous footage circulated from Bnei Brak, the woman is seen cutting off the side of the head of a 10-year-old boy last Friday. The family claims that the incident began after a ball in which he was playing with his friends flew near her and dropped a garbage can, without physical contact with her. The boy gathered his hair from the ground and fled home crying

According to the testimony of family members published by Daniel Amram, the incident began on Friday afternoon, close to the start of Shabbat. The boy was playing with his friends in the street, and during the game, the ball flew and dropped a garbage can that was standing next to the woman passing by.

The family emphasized that the bullet did not hit the woman and did not make any physical contact with her. Despite this, the woman reacted in an extreme way: she pulled out scissors, went over to the boy and cut off the side of his head. The boy was left in complete shock by the act, collected his hair cut from the floor and ran home in tears.

The incident, which was recorded on security cameras in the area and caused widespread reverberation, led to calls from the public to bring the woman to justice and to open a police investigation to clarify the circumstances of the serious case.
