Bnei Brak police arrested another suspect today (Sunday), a 15-year-old Haredi boy, a resident of Bnei Brak - who is suspected of being involved in overturning a police car during riots that occurred in the heart of Bnei Brak last week due to the arrival of two female soldiers.

Last Thursday, the police arrested a 19-year-old ultra-Orthodox man, a resident of the ultra-Orthodox city of Beitar Illit - suspected of overturning a police car in a disturbance.

His detention was extended until Wednesday.

Meanwhile, today, the station's detectives located the 15-year-old boy, a resident of Bnei Brak, and he was arrested for questioning for intentional damage to a vehicle, participation in a prohibited gathering, conspiracy to commit a crime, and obstruction/obstruction of a public road.

After his interrogation, the boy was imprisoned. Tomorrow morning he will be brought to a hearing in the juvenile court in Bat Yam.

The arrest was made after the police launched an investigation early last week, with the aim of locating several suspects who were involved in the car flip.

""The Israel Police will continue to act with determination and a strong hand against any attempt to harm police officers, police vehicles, and public property, and will bring to justice those involved in disturbances and violence of any kind," the police statement said.
