'They yelled death to Arabs': Far-right Israeli soccer fans assault Arab bus drivers

One of the two drivers who was beaten, Ahmad Kar'in, told Haaretz that the attack happened while he was driving his regular route and reached Malha Mall, near the stadium.
"Dozens of young Beitar Jerusalem fans showed up," he recounted. "I recognized them by their dress and the scarves. They recognized that I was an Arab after speaking with me. They started shouting out of nowhere, 'death to Arabs', and cursed and attacked me. More and more kept joining them."
"There was no one there to help me besides this driver," he said. "The police only came after 20 minutes, perhaps even half an hour. They pulled me out from there and took me to Magen David Adom, which evacuated me to a hospital."
