Assault on i24NEWS crew in Belfast

Overview

An Israeli i24NEWS film crew was assaulted in Belfast, Northern Ireland, while filming a documentary series about the rise of antisemitism in Europe. During street interviews in a bar district, an unidentified man confronted reporter Yonatan Raveh and cameraman Nadav Abas, directing verbal abuse and attempting to seize their equipment.

The confrontation escalated when the assailant threw a large glass object at Abas, striking him in the head and causing a wound. While initial reports noted the crew had returned to Israel following the incident, subsequent developments confirmed that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) arrested and charged a 30-year-old man. The charges against the individual include assault causing bodily harm, common assault, assault on a police officer, and possession of a dangerous weapon in a public place.
