Now, attorney Haim Bleicher of Mhonenu is asking the police to quickly locate the suspect "who poses a danger to other citizens." The attack occurred last week, in the market on David Street, which is the main entrance to the Old City. In a letter that attorney Bleicher sent to the David police station, he described the attack, "Suddenly and for no reason, a minority man appeared, attacked him and punched him hard in the stomach. My client suffered intense pain and great humiliation." According to Attorney Bleicher, attacks of this type have become routine: "This is an anti-Semitic and despicable attack, which is part of a reality of life that, unfortunately, a strike has created in the alleys of the Old City, where Jews feel threatened and afraid, and are at the 'mercy' of local minorities." He emphasized that the attack was carried out without prior acquaintance between the attacker and the young Jewish man and that "there is no doubt that the suspect, who is free to roam, poses a danger to other citizens." Attorney Bleicher asks the police to locate the attacker as soon as possible, bring him into custody and conduct a determined investigation, and file an indictment against him for a terrorist act of serious assault.
