Police on horseback charged hundreds of Ethiopian citizens in central Tel Aviv as an anti-racism protest descended into one of the most violent demonstrations of the city in years.
The protesters, mostly Israeli jews of Ethiopian origin, were demonstrating against police racism and brutality after the emergence last week of a video clip that showed policemen shoving and punching a black soldier.
The protest was mostly peaceful during the day, but by nightfall became violent with at least 20 officers hurt and “multiple protesters” arrested.
