A party of Arabs, apparently intoxicated, accosted a number of young Jews walking near the Zion Cinema at the corner of Batuto Street on the eve of Rosh Hashanah and beat them with sticks, according to the “Palestine Bulletin”. The crowd passing came to the protection of the youths and one of the Arabs drew a revolver and fired four times, one of the bullets lodging in the arm of one of the Jewish youths. The Arabs then fled pursued by the crowd and police. Two were arrested. One of the Jewish young men was wounded in the head by the blow of a heavy stick and another was stabbed in the side. They were taken to the hospital for treatment.
