JOHANNESBURG – Fugitive rabbi, Eliezer Berland, is recovering in a Johannesburg hospital after he was rushed to a doctor from the Sandton police station.
The rabbi is wanted in Israel for a number of sex crimes, and has been on the run for over four years.
He was arrested this week, when he was admitted to hospital due to his medical condition.
Rabbi Berland is under strict police guard in hospital.
ER24 could not confirm the identity of the man whom they treated at the Sandton Police Station, saying only that a suspect suffered from a medical condition and needed urgent attention.
