The Jerusalem District Attorney's Office on Monday filed an indictment with the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court against Haredi protester Nahman Godlbsky for allegedly attempting to attack a policeman during last week's protests against drafting Haredim into the IDF.
Protests exploded in a few different cities following the recent High Court of Justice decision to suspend certain yeshiva students' subsidies who were not responding to draft notices as well as the arrest of one such student.
The indictment against Godlbsky, 23 and a Jerusalem resident, was the most severe filed so far in the fallout from the protests in which over a dozen Haredi protesters were arrested for variously allegedly unlawful physical contact with police and damaging police property.
The charge was listed as under aggravated circumstances and he was also separately charged with causing public disorder.
The indictment said that on Thursday afternoon, Haredi protesters started an illegal protest near the Metarim bridge in which they caused disorder and threw rocks at police.
Godblsky threw a rock at a police officer from a mere distance of ten meters, said the indictment.
The larger the rock and the closer the distance from which it is thrown the more severe the action is considered by prosecutors.
Unlike with many other defendants from the protest, the police asked for Godlbsky to be remanded to police custody for the rest of the trial.
