  "account": "On a Saturday in Jerusalem, an Arab Superbus driver was violently attacked by a group of teenagers while idling at a red light at the Ramot intersection. As the bus came to a stop, the youths began banging on its sides. Upon opening the window to investigate, the driver was subjected to repeated blows, causing him to lose consciousness, lose four teeth, and suffer facial injuries. The attack left the driver in a state of shock and pain, with blood in his mouth as he came to. He managed to drive away and promptly reported the incident to the police, who arrived to evacuate him to the hospital for medical treatment. The driver expressed his shock and confusion, stating that he had only just started his shift and that he did not understand why he was targeted. The incident has sparked outrage and condemnation, with MK Jafar Farah warning of the dangers of incitement, racism, and violence in the region. Farah called for the Jewish public to join the fight against racist violence, while Itay Cohen of Koach LaOvdim, an Israeli labor union organization, condemned the attack as another crossing of the line in violence against public transportation workers. Superbus, the bus company, also condemned the attack and vowed to support the driver and ensure his safety.",
  "summary": "The driver remained unconscious for several minutes, and he came to, heard the teenagers continuing to threaten and curse him.",
