Plice arrested a Palestinian man Thursday on suspicion of attempted rape and aggravated assault against a 24-year-old woman in Jerusalem’s French Hill neighborhood.
The 21-year-old from the Shuafat refugee camp allegedly assaulted the woman, an employee of the German embassy, who lives in French Hill.
According to a report on the NRG news site, the woman was walking her dog Wednesday evening when the suspect allegedly approached her.

Police searched the area and gathered intelligence that led to the suspect’s arrest.
