Two intoxicated female British tourists who were sexually assaulted by their Jerusalem Arab taxi driver fended him off with blows which left him hospitalized, police said Tuesday.

The incident, which took place late Sunday night, began after the two tourists, who are in their 20's, were picked up by the driver from the city's popular Underground Disco and asked to be driven to the youth hostel in the Jerusalem community of Shoresh.

On the way, the driver pulled over on a darkened patch of the road, and started to commit an indecent sexual act on one of the tourists, police said.

The two fought back, beating the driver and even damaging his cab.

The surprised driver – who was so badly beaten that he required medical treatment at Jerusalem's Hadassah University Hospital at Ein Kerem – was placed under arrest.

He was later released on bail.

The two tourists involved in the incident were questioned by police, and are still in Israel, police said.

I would think the European women would fear the American males more...(It's the accent thing, ya know?)

Somebody makes one comment you object to and you go ballistic. Please be advised that this is a very large website and there will always be the occasional post that you or I would object to. As a 100% ethnic English-Scottisch American I'm on your side.

I can think of a few FReepers who need to read this.

Is that wrong?

Starting is not a problem. Finishing is indecent.
