Charedi Extrimist Charged With Verbal Assault On Woman

Mea She'arim, Israel - The Jerusalem District Court charged Ze'ev Frank with harassment on Sunday, after he was arrested on Thursday for calling a pedestrian a "slut" and spitting on her. He is also being charged with assaulting the officers who arrested him while physically resisting arrest and calling one a "Nazi."

According to the indictment, the woman was walking in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Mea She'arim when Frank, a resident of the city, harassed her.

When three police officers who were already in the area proceeded to arrest Frank, a group of haredim (ultra-Orthodox Jews) attacked the officers, throwing rocks and iron poles at their vehicle.
