Police arrest 3 suspects in Tel Aviv stabbing over electric scooter dispute

Tel Aviv police have arrested three young men in connection with the stabbing of a man earlier this week in a dispute over an electric scooter, a police spokesperson announced.

The suspects include two 18-year-olds from Elad and a 16-year-old minor from central Israel.

Following questioning at the central Tel Aviv police station, the suspects were brought before the Tel Aviv Magistrateโ€™s Court for a detention hearing.

The incident occurred early Sunday morning, just after midnight, on Rothschild Street. The victim had exited a bar and was attempting to rent an electric scooter when the altercation occurred.

Security footage from a nearby cafรฉ captured the attack. The video shows four young men approaching and cornering the victim near the scooter rack. One of the assailants stabbed the man in the leg before fleeing with the others.

Police are still searching for a fourth suspect involved in the incident.

โ€œThe investigation remains ongoing,โ€ the spokesperson told The Times of Israel.

The victimโ€™s condition following the stabbing has not been disclosed.
