]]> Officers showed up at a fuel station next to the Kiryon shopping mall in Kiryat Bialik, just north of Haifa, after reports of a suicide threat. They aimed to stop the man from taking his own life, but he dumped gasoline on one policeman and lit him up. The officer's injuries are moderate to severe.

A pair of officers who rushed to put out the flames on their burning colleague also got hurt, and medics took them away with minor wounds. The suspect took off but got nabbed following a pursuit.

Rambam Medical Campus said, "A man suffering from burns from an incident that occurred in the Krayot was evacuated. He arrived conscious and is being treated for his injuries, we will update later."
