A man has been arrested on suspicion of trying to set a 12-year-old boy on fire while traveling on a bus near Jerusalem. The suspect, a Jerusalem resident in his 30s, allegedly threw a flammable liquid on the child before attempting to ignite it using a lighter. The incident occurred during the bus ride, and police quickly responded to the situation.
Authorities believe that the attack may be linked to a previous disagreement between the suspect and the boy’s father, though the exact details of this dispute remain unclear. The child, thankfully, suffered only light injuries in the attack and was treated for minor burns.
The police have taken the suspect into custody, and an investigation is underway to determine the full extent of the motive behind the incident. Authorities are looking into whether this was a premeditated act of violence or an impulsive attack. The case has raised serious concerns about safety on public transport and the dangers of interpersonal disputes escalating into violence.
As the investigation continues, the police are focusing on gathering further evidence and statements from witnesses who were on the bus during the attack. The suspect is expected to face charges related to attempted murder and assault.
