JPost

The yeshiva student who was severely beaten by drunken skinheads in Kiev last week was brought to Israel on Monday night for treatment at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

Representatives of the hospital visited the young man in Ukraine last week and, feeling that he required better medical care, convinced the hospital to fund his treatment in Israel.

The man, suffering from serious wounds to his head and to his lungs, was said to be unconscious and breathing with the help of a respirator.

His prognosis was not known.
