A 13-year-old chareidi boy who saw police at the entrance to his building panicked and jumped from a window, but he was caught and placed in custody. After it became clear they were after his brother, the child was released.
Jerusalem police arrived at a home on Strauss Street where a chareidi family whose sons regularly take part in area protests reside.
When police knocked on the door, the young teen panicked and jumped from the window from his first floor apartment. Seeing him run, police believed he was the wanted suspect. They apprehended him and placed him under arrest. Only after realizing they were after his brother and not him, was he released from the Russian Compound station.
Kikar Shabbos News interviewed the mother, who is angry and concerned regarding “the trauma endured by my son” due to the actions of police. She also accuses police of trying to tarnish the family’s good name.

“She also accuses police of trying to tarnish the family’s good name.”
Sounds like they’ve managed to do that all by themselves…
Israels charedim are beginning to act like in the wild west.
But then again they claim to have the “best chinuch”
