One of its correspondents, the debt of Rabin
A police officer arrived at the scene and registered his hands with the officer, who threatened to force him to enter a police car if he did not comply.
Rabin, who was wearing crosses in short pants and a shirt, he knew as a journalist and offered to leave the scene, but the officer continued his hands and threatened to put him in the back of the police car.
The officer did not seem interested when Rabin knew himself as a journalist and pedestrian who recorded the accident and threatened to arrest him.
Rabin was released only after about 15 minutes when additional officers arrived.
"I got to know myself as a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, and the police said," You can't do this. This is not public property, " he told CNN.
Rabin explained how the officer threatened him, adding: "This could become bad for you if you don't do what I say. I was on private property and asked you to leave.
Rabin said he wore unofficial clothes because he did not want people to think he was selling something.
He also explained that he did not know that the sidewalk was private property, and at any time, the bank asked him to leave.
