An Arab allegedly broke into a dorm of a haredi yeshiva in Jerusalem late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. American-born haredi yeshiva students allegedly chased down the man, detained him, savagely beat him, pursued him when he tried to flee, beat him again and – at least according to one account – murdered him.
The victim. This photo appears to have been taken moments before he tried to escape the haredi mob for the second time.

An Arab allegedly broke into a dorm of a haredi yeshiva in Jerusalem late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. American-born haredi yeshiva students allegedly chased down the man, detained him, savagely beat him, pursued him when he tried to flee, beat him again, stabbed him and – at least according to one account – murdered him. (The haredi news website Behadrei Haredim calls what happened a riot and makes it clear there were many yeshiva students and only one Arab man.)
The victim is either in fair condition in Sha'arei Tzedek Hospital or dead, depending on which report is accurate.
Students from the haredi Dushinsky yeshiva apparently joined the riot and may have been responsible for the stabbing itself.
