A security guard was arrested on Thursday afternoon on suspicion of striking fans with an iron bar during a soccer match, according to ynet. The location and the identities of the guard and the victims have not been disclosed.
The incident follows a series of violent events at Israeli sporting venues this week. On Wednesday evening, a brawl erupted at the Mosheva Stadium in Petah Tikva, during which a security guard allegedly struck a fan with an iron bar. The fan was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in moderate-to-mild condition. Police detained several individuals, and three ushers were arrested. The League Administration chairman, Erez Kalfon, called for the security licenses of those involved to be revoked and for them to be permanently banned from stadiums. The usher who attacked the fan was arrested and questioned, as reported by N12.
The Zioneer has also reported on other incidents, including a fan arrested for punching a security guard last month and an Arab security guard who allegedly struck a fan with a bar at an event earlier this week.
The identities of the parties involved in Thursday's arrest remain undisclosed, and the investigation is ongoing.
