Ultra-Orthodox extremists late Wednesday attacked Beit Shemesh Mayor Shmuel Greenberg and his family, overturning the mayor’s car and injuring his 19-year-old son.
In a statement, the municipality said that Greenberg, a member of the Haredi Degel Hatorah party, “was attacked by extremists while leaving a family celebration.”
“His vehicle was smashed and vandalized, but the mayor and his family were rescued from the scene. The mayor’s son required medical treatment. Mayor Greenberg trusts the Israel Police to bring the lawbreakers to justice,” his office said.
Video from the scene showed black-clad Hasidic Jews rocking the vehicle back and forth while someone screamed in the background.
