Police in Holon arrested a couple early Sunday morning on suspicion of violently assaulting a doctor and medical staff at the "Doctor's Visit" clinic. The incident unfolded late Saturday evening during a medical treatment visit for the couple's toddler, escalating from a verbal argument into a severe physical attack, according to a police complaint filed by the victims.
The Holon police launched an investigation following the complaint submitted by the doctor and clinic staff. The parents, a man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s, both residents of Holon, arrived at the clinic in the late evening hours with their young child seeking medical care.
During the visit, a dispute arose between the parents and the doctor, which allegedly intensified into violence. The couple is suspected of punching and striking the doctor, inflicting substantial injuries, police stated in the investigation details.
The attack did not stop with the doctor; the pair also assaulted the clinic's secretary during the altercation, as detailed in the complaint. The severity of the violence prompted immediate police action after the report was filed.
Early Sunday morning, law enforcement located and detained the suspects on charges of assault and causing bodily harm. They were transferred to the Holon police station for further questioning as the investigation continues.
The incident highlights growing concerns over violence against medical professionals in Israel, though police have not released additional details on the toddler's condition or the precise nature of the initial dispute at this time.
