A brawl broke out at Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market on Wednesday afternoon after a dispute escalated between workers at one of the market's stalls, according to police. Officers arrested a 24-year-old male suspect from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Safafa on suspicion of assaulting another worker with a sharp object, causing a head wound. The business was closed by a seven-day administrative order. The incident is being investigated as a criminal dispute, not a nationalist attack; the Magen David Adom emergency service treated the wounded worker at the scene. The Zioneer previously reported on a suspected stabbing in the same market on Monday (June 29) that was also under police investigation for a possible nationalist motive, but authorities have not linked the two events.
