A police officer was indicted for threatening five teens with a pistol and threatening to shoot them, Police Internal Affairs said in its filing to the Rishon Lezion Magistrate  Court.

Officer Alomg Tesa stopped a car with teenagers aged 15-17 after he had received a report of an erratic driver. He allegedly then ran toward the vehicle, hit the hood of the vehicle, pulled his pistol and threatened to shoot the driver with his firearm.

The suspect then falsely claimed in his report that the teenagers had attempted to run him down with their car.
