A Jerusalem police spokesman reports that police detectives smashed the windows of a transport vehicle and rescued a five-year-old girl inside. It was reported the incident took place on Sunday, 29 Tammuz, towards the early evening hours. Police report they were alerted by a civilian that on Derech Beit Lechem in Talpiot, there is a parked car parked next to a child with no supervision.

Police detectives who were nearby, quickly reached the vehicle, shattered the window and rescued a 5-year-old girl who was crying and frightened.

One of the policewomen on the team picked up the girl who had not been hurt and calmed her down. Gave her a drink and bought her ices. Simultaneously, the driver was tracked down and detained for questioning.

Police learned it was a transportation vehicle that had dropped off a number of children including the girl. The driver stopped the vehicle and went to buy something in nearby store while the girl was still on board.
