Bnei Brak man charged with smashing wine bottle into wife’s face, breaking two of her teeth
Prosecutors say the 51-year-old has also slapped his wife, pulled her hair, thrown a plate at her, and used a kitchen knife against her hands.
A 51-year-old man from Bnei Brak has been charged with violently assaulting his wife, allegedly hitting her in the face with a wine bottle and causing two of her teeth to break. The indictment released on Wednesday details a series of violent incidents involving the couple, including slapping, threatening to murder, throwing a plate, pulling hair, and threatening to break bones.
Police were alerted to the abuse on November 1 through a 100 emergency hotline call, leading to the arrest of the suspect. He was subsequently held in custody and charged with threats, assault causing actual bodily harm to a spouse, and assault of a spouse. Prosecutors have requested that the court keep him in custody until the legal proceedings are concluded.
