VIDEO | Armenian Christian boy targeted and pepper-sprayed by Jewish settlers in occupied Jerusalem

A nine-year-old Armenian Christian boy was pepper-sprayed by Jewish settlers in occupied Jerusalem after being confronted for riding his bicycle and wearing headphones during the Yom Kippur holiday.

Footage broadcast by Israel's Channel 13 showed the child, identified as William, receiving medical treatment from paramedics in an ambulance following the assault. The confrontation took place near the Old City as William rode his bicycle while listening to music.

The attackers reportedly demanded that the boy remove his headphones. After he complied and spoke in English, they shouted, "No English, Jews," before spraying him directly with pepper spray.
