Police confirm reports by associates of man who assaulted Border Guard forces in Wadi Joz, according to which his police record contained several cases involving violence, aggravated assault
A Ynet inquiry suggests that the man had a criminal record which included four cases involving violence, aggravated assault and threats since 1998.
Corporal Shai Hazan, one of the officers injured in the incident, said from his hospital bed: "We were walking single-file towards the exit from Wadi Joz, and we saw a Toyota pickup truck slowly approaching us. He suddenly stepped on the gas pedal and sped up his car, flinging me and my comrades to the side." Hazan was wearing a bullet-proof vest and a helmet at the time of the incident. He said he barley remembers what happened after being hit. "He rammed into us, I was tossed in the air from the force of the blow, and afterwards, everything was blurry," he said.
