(Scroll down for video) A man was arrested and charged with assault related charges after stabbing at least six people in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, according to police reports in Israel.
Police said that a Sudanese migrant worker stabbed six people Sunday, including three Israeli citizens and three foreign workers.
The injured, including a 67-year-old man, suffered moderate to severe injuries. All six were taken to hospitals.
Police believe that the stabbing incident occurred after a fight between two Sudanese migrants. People on the scene attempted to stop the fight between the two and were stabbed as well. The stabbing incident occurred on Bnei Brak Street near the old Tel Aviv Central Bus Station.
The police have arrested the suspect and took him into custody.
There are approximately 50,000 African immigrants, mainly from Eritrea and South Sudan, who live in Israel, mostly concentrated in poor and impoverished parts of Israeli cities, including the poor neighborhood in southern Tel Aviv.
The friction between the communities, backed by high crime rates, have caused rising tensions between communities and some residents of these communities, which have called for the expulsion of immigrants from their neighborhoods in recent year.
