An anesthesiologist in Israel tried to murder the partner of the object of his affections with narcotics, according to an indictment.
The 37-year-old entered the man’s flat in the city of Rehovot about a fortnight ago, the Israeli Justice Ministry announced on Wednesday.
He had repeatedly made advances to the woman, a doctor who worked with him.
The doctor attacked the sleeping man with a stun gun and then tried to inject him with a drug.
However, the victim woke up and managed to push the attacker out of the flat.
The Police stopped the fugitive shortly afterwards and found, among other things, injection bottles with a strong narcotic in his car.
This could have a lethal effect from a certain dose.
The doctor is now charged with attempted murder, theft and burglary.
