Freddy Rubin, 46, claims he was attacked by police officers who came to evict him from his home in Kadima Zoran as part of divorce proceedings. According to him, he refused to let the officers in because he wanted more time to prepare, and then they beat him all over his body. The officers' body cameras were activated only after he was injured in the head. In the first footage from the cameras, he is lying on the ground at the entrance to his home, handcuffed, his face covered in blood. Rubin claims that one of the officers stepped on him with his knee and said "shut your mouth," and that the officers threw tear gas into the house. Following the incident, he filed a complaint with the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash), which closed the case on the grounds that the circumstances were not suitable for further investigation. Rubin intends to appeal. Meanwhile, an indictment was filed against him for threats, obstructing a police officer, and using force, alleging he threatened to explode gas canisters and assaulted an officer. Rubin denies this. The police stated that the officers acted to neutralize a danger and prevented a disaster.
