Police initially charged the driver involved in a fatal ramming incident with the serious offense of aggravated murder, seeking a lengthy detention. However, it was acknowledged that the driver had been attacked by Haredi protesters demonstrating against military conscription and had called the police emergency hotline, expressing fear for his safety. Despite his call, officers did not arrive for several minutes. The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court later extended the driver's detention by nine days and charged him with causing severe injury to a minor and reckless driving.
