A police officer who was dispatched to arrest a suspect for making threats in an apartment in Be'er Sheva was violently attacked by the suspect. During the struggle, the suspect's sister locked the apartment door, trapping herself and the officer inside while the other officers remained outside. The sister filmed the incident on her mobile phone. The officer was injured and taken to Soroka Medical Center for treatment. The sister, described as having mental health issues and a criminal record, claimed through her attorney that she locked the door to prevent her brother from escaping and that she was trying to help the officer. Judge Omar Cohen rejected this claim, ruled that it constituted interference with an officer performing his duties, and extended the sister's remand by two days due to dangerousness and concerns of obstruction of justice.
