A 51-year-old Bnei Brak man has been indicted for allegedly abusing his wife repeatedly, including hitting her in the face with a wine bottle hard enough to break two of her teeth, according to the indictment released on Wednesday. The indictment describes a string of assaults and threats inside the couple's home: slapping, throwing a plate, pulling her hair, and using a kitchen knife against her hands. During one argument, he allegedly threatened, "I'll break your bones." Police arrested the husband on November 1 after a call to the 100 emergency hotline. He was questioned by the police domestic violence unit, which suspected the incident was part of a series of attacks. The Tel Aviv District police prosecution unit filed charges of threats, assault causing actual bodily harm to a spouse, and assault of a spouse. Prosecutors asked the court to keep him in custody until the end of proceedings.
