A Jewish pedestrian wearing a yarmulke who protested police manhandling of Israelis during a parade in Jerusalem was grabbed and thrown about by several Israeli police – while his wife was screaming in vain that he had nothing to do with the parade.
Following the beating, the pedestrian was let go.
