Police arrested 27-year-old Or Yehuda resident Shlomi Kedem on Thursday, on suspicions he attacked an television crew Wednesday, which was filming a report for Channel 2's "Uvda" on the role of organized crime in bottle recycling at Kedem's Or Yehuda business.

The crew had coordinated the filming with Kedem, who apparently became upset by some of the questions being posed by Uvda reporter Yigal Mosko. A dispute ensued, and Kedem allegedly assaulted Mosko and his photographers. He also allegedly stole the television camera and the film materials.

The television crew filed a complaint with police, who arrested Kedem a short time later.
