A nine-year-old Armenian Christian boy was reportedly attacked by a Jewish extremist in Jerusalem for riding his bike with headphones on during Yom Kippur earlier this week.
The network said it was the second time that the boy was attacked. The first time he was with his father, who protected him, but this time he was alone.
Despite being recorded on security cameras, police initially closed the case without making any arrests, according to the outlet, which said the investigation would be reopened and the security footage collected as evidence.
The boy’s mother told Channel 13 that her son had a hard time sleeping since the attack and has become fearful of outwardly Jewish-looking individuals.
