A police blunder: A Haredi man was arrested on suspicion of throwing a stone at police officers during a protest in Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, but video footage presented in court proved it was a different person. The police requested to extend his detention by five days, but after the attorney presented the video, a police representative admitted the mistake and withdrew the request. The officer who identified the suspect claimed he maintained continuous eye contact with him until his arrest, but the footage contradicted his version. The detainee was released unconditionally.
