Police arrested a 25-year-old man from Jaffa on suspicion of stabbing a coworker
to death at a Tel Aviv bakery early on Friday.
The suspect fled the scene
on foot after the killing, but was apprehended soon afterwards.
Ashraf
Taul, 27, of east Jerusalem, was rushed to Ichilov Hospital at the Sourasky
Medical Center in Tel Aviv, but died of his injuries soon after
arriving.
Upon hearing the news of the murder, the victim’s family
arrived at the bakery and began destroying the site, hurling objects into the
shop.
A small forensics police presence at the site was unable to control
the disturbance, and a backup force from the Special Patrol Unit arrived on the
scene and arrested six of the rioting relatives.
Police suspect the
stabbing occurred following an argument between the two men.
Later on
Friday, Channel 1 broadcast images from the murder scene showing the suspect
recreating the attack and making mock stabbing gestures to show detectives how
he carried out the killing.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a
36-year-old woman allegedly stabbed and injured her 45-year-old ex-husband amid
an argument in Rechasim in the North.
The stabbing victim arrived at the
Rambam Medical Center in Haifa with wounds to his chest and leg.
Police
arrested the woman and recovered a knife in her possession.
