Gunfire was directed at a female employee of the Bitchonit Company on HaYarkon Street in Bnei Brak during the early morning hours Monday, 4 Teves 5773. The injured guard was listed in light-to-moderate condition, transported to a local hospital.

The suspect, 48, was apprehended in Ramat Gan after a police chase. It appears he was armed with a fake gun and tried to grab the guard’s gun, which went off as they struggled.

The suspect is described as a former ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) informant, an Arab male from the Kraiyot area who lives in a PA (Palestinian Authority) area at this time.
