On Hashomer Street corner Rabbi Akiva in Bnei Brak, a violent melee broke last night (Friday night) violent between young yeshiva students and marginal youth, during which a yeshiva bochur was stabbed.

The incident occurred at 21:20, after the Shabbos meal, when the yeshiva students went for a walk down the street and encountered a number of fringe boys.

"He said a group of 'Shababnikim' came towards them," Yimpel said, "One of them took out something sharp and stabbed him, he tried to walk toward the emergency clinic, but felt very bad, and his friends asked neighbors to call the rescue forces."

Menachem Indig, paramedic in Hatzala Gush Dan, who treated the casualty, said: "We have given medical care to the injured who is fully conscious, then evacuated him by Mobile Intensive Care Unit to the hospital, his condition is defined as mild to moderate."
