Two teenagers were arrested on suspicion of stabbing a 70-year-old taxi driver in the Sharon region after a dispute over a NIS 10 fare. According to Israeli media, the driver asked for the outstanding payment and the suspects allegedly responded by stabbing him.
The stabbing of a taxi driver in the Sharon region marks the third chapter in this incident to be covered by The Zioneer this evening. As reported earlier today, two 17-year-olds were initially arrested on suspicion of the attack, allegedly after refusing to pay the full fare. A subsequent report revealed that one of the teenagers — who had previously fled a taxi without paying by pretending to be nauseous — was already arrested for that earlier incident and has now asked the person who filmed him to take the video down.
This latest update provides a new detail: the dispute was over a relatively small sum — NIS 10. The driver, 70, was stabbed after asking for the money. The two suspects are residents of the Sharon region; one was remanded in custody and the other placed under house arrest. The full report, linked in the original message, likely contains further details from the investigation.
