The suspect in Thursday's attempted abduction of an 11-year-old girl in Petah Tikva was rearrested after assaulting the psychiatrist who was evaluating him, journalist Daniel Amram reported. Police confirmed the sequence: the man was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted abduction, then released for a psychiatric evaluation. During that evaluation, he attacked the medical staffer treating him, leading to a new arrest on assault charges. He is currently in custody.
The incident follows the release of security footage earlier Thursday showing the attempted abduction, which was part of a broader rash of suspected attempted abductions in central Israel this week, including a separate case in Hadera on Wednesday evening.
