A motorcyclist ran over a police officer on Wednesday night, lightly injuring him, and then fled the scene.
The suspect did not stop at the police checkpoint at the Shoresh Interchange on Road 1 and is believed to have intentionally hit the officer.
Ynet said that a video showed police waiting for the motorcyclist to arrive at the checkpoint, at which point they intended to stop him.
