Last week, Jerusalem Police received a report about a woman in distress near Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. Officers from the Moriah Station were dispatched and found the passenger shaken and terrified.<\/p>\n
She told police that she accepted a hitchhike from a young driver near Mount Herzl on her way to her destination. The ride began normally, but within minutes the driver allegedly locked the doors and pulled out a sharp object.<\/p>\n
According to her testimony, she waited for the vehicle to slow down, opened the door, jumped out and hid in nearby bushes until police arrived.<\/p>\n
Investigators used security camera footage to track down the vehicle. Throughout the night, officers carried out surveillance and search operations. The 22-year-old driver was located and arrested. A sharp object suspected of being used in the threat was found in the car. Police are also examining whether he is connected to another recent case involving a young woman who was attacked.<\/p>\n
A court extended his detention for four additional days, until November 9, to allow the investigation to continue.<\/p>\n
Jerusalem District Police said: \u201cWe view any attempt to harm the safety of the public with the utmost seriousness and will continue to act decisively against suspects involved in such offenses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
