She wanted to retain her privacy. Even now, she's scared of reprisals and is withholding her name.

The woman, a neighborhood resident in her 30s, told the Associated Press she learned of the protest after hearing police helicopters over her apartment. She walked over to investigate around 10.30pm but by then the protest had mostly dispersed. Not wanting to be filmed, she covered her face with a scarf.

“As soon as I pulled up my scarf, a group of 100 men came over immediately and encircled me,” said the woman, who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.

I'm glad you don't condone violence. That mob was violent and I'm glad there's been arrests. These ultra-Orthodox ones are even worse than the ones in Israel.
