Israel Police officers in the Jerusalem district arrested a suspect whom officers believe attacked a nun on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, police received reports of a nun being attacked at King David's Tomb in Jerusalem. A 36-year-old man was arrested in connection with the case and is being questioned for racist assault, the police said.
"The Israel Police views seriously any manifestation of violence, especially racially motivated, directed at religious figures. The police will continue to act with a heavy hand and zero tolerance in order to preserve and maintain the proper and safe fabric of life for all ethnicities and religions in the city of Jerusalem," a police spokesperson said.
This is a developing story.
