Former surf champion detained in Israel
JERUSALEM - Police detained eight-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater early Saturday after a scuffle with photographers who were trying to take pictures of him with an Israeli supermodel, police said.
Israeli photographers were waiting outside as the American surfer and model Bar Rafaeli left a hotel in the Tel Aviv suburb of Herzliya before dawn Saturday, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Slater pushed the cameramen in an effort to prevent them from taking pictures, a photographer at the scene told Channel Two TV.
“A brawl broke out and Slater was taken for questioning and later released,” Rosenfeld said.
Slater, who is of Syrian descent, was visiting Israel for the first time as part of efforts by the group “Surfing for Peace” to promote reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians through the sport.
