Nir Barkat used his hands on approach once again to restore peace in the capital on Sunday morning when he broke up a traffic-related street fight while pedaling on his bicycle to work.
According to a municipal spokeswoman, the mayor was cycling from his home to his office in Safra Square, when he saw two men hitting each other on a traffic island in the center of the road near Sacher Park. “The mayor stopped riding his bike and jumped to separate the two to ensure no one else was endangered,” the statement said. “After separating the men, he called for police reinforcement, and stayed on the scene until they arrived.”
This follows his exploits from earlier this year.
