WATCH: Man indicted for allegedly assaulting seven-year-old nephew, throwing child into garbage bin

A 43-year-old man was arrested and indicted for assaulting a minor, causing serious bodily harm, by a person responsible for a child, Israel Police said.

Police also released a video, seen by The Jerusalem Post, that appeared to show a seven-year-old child being kicked by a man police identified as his uncle while lying on the ground.

The police received a report of the assault in a northern village on August 11, and Northern District police officers arrived at the village and arrested the suspect.

The investigation revealed that the child lives in the same house as his mother and uncle. During a family argument that took place in the uncle's presence, the police allege that he took the child to the yard of the house, kicked him while on the ground, then lifted him up and threw him into a garbage bin.

The child was taken for medical treatment after the incident, after sustaining numerous injuries to his body.

State Attorney's office requests extension of custody

The suspect was indicted on August 24, after several extensions of the suspect's detention, and the Northern District State Attorney's Office requested to keep him in custody until the end of legal proceedings.
