The 19-year-old son of an Israeli diplomat has been accused of deliberately running his motorcycle into an American policeman.
The young man later confessed that he did not like standing in the traffic, so he ran the car over the policeman.
When the police arrested the accused youth in the case, he started doing drama on the road itself. Police sources say that after the incident he started crying loudly.
On the other hand, the lawyer of the accused side says that due to the status of the father, the charges against the accused son can be withdrawn.
The incident is said to have taken place on January 27 at 3:30 pm. Avraham Gil, 19, was seen crying bitterly after being accused of attacking a police officer at Sunny Isles Beach in Miami, Florida, US.
According to WPLG, police officers had stopped traffic on Collins Avenue, one of the main thoroughfares. Then he became alert when he saw Gill coming forward on the bike, breaking the traffic.
Police officials say police signaled Gill to stop, but he allegedly continued driving and “intentionally ran over the police officer.”
According to the outlet, the officer’s left leg was injured in the accident, but he caught Gill off his bike and threw him to the ground.
Gill, who lives in Aventura, is charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, according to court records. Gil’s father, Eli Gil, is the Israeli ambassador to Miami. According to the Miami New Times, citing a police report, Gill told officers he was weaving between vehicles because he “hates stopping in traffic.”
Meanwhile, due to his father’s diplomatic status, Gil’s lawyers argue that the charges against him should be dropped as they claim Miami law does not apply to him. Let us tell you that according to the “Diplomatic and Consular Law” of the US State Department, “family members of diplomats have the same privileges as diplomats.”
