32-year-old suspected of assaulting a policewoman and committing an indecent act: grabbed her breast and tried to bite her face
The Tel Aviv District Court extended the detention of Ahmed Agbaria, suspected of grabbing a policewoman's breast, committing an indecent act, and attempting to bite her face. This followed a Magistrate's Court order to release him, which police appealed. The defense attorney claims the policewoman used excessive force.
The Tel Aviv District Court extended the detention of Ahmed Agbaria, 32, from Umm al-Fahm, until October 20. He is suspected of grabbing a policewoman's breast, committing an indecent act, and assaulting a police officer in the line of duty. This came after a Magistrate's Court ordered his release, which police appealed. In the hearing, police argued that the suspect's extreme behavior, including attempting to bite the policewoman's face, justified his continued detention. His attorney, Adv. Dotan Daniely, argued that officers approached his client without justification after receiving a report of a person mumbling to himself, and that the policewoman pulled him by the collar and choked him—he pushed her in response. Judge Alaa Masarwa ruled that Agbaria's extreme behavior established grounds for detention. The article includes the defense attorney's response, denying the offenses and calling for an investigation into police conduct.
