Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, apprehended a Palestinian man who allegedly stabbed a Jewish ultra-Orthodox.
Of the CCTV camera footage looks Barkat out of the car when he saw the stabbing that occurred near City Hall in central Jerusalem, Sunday (22/02). He then arrested the alleged offender before the attack bodyguard capture the man and handed it to the police.
27-year-old victim was taken to hospital for treatment. Police say the alleged offender entered Israel illegally. Barkat, in a press statement on Monday (23/02), said that he and his bodyguards took the initiative to apprehend the suspect.
"I and bodyguards out of the car, pointed the gun to her bodyguard ... and we secured a terrorist until the police came (to the scene)," said Barkat.
Stabbing motive is unknown, but this is not the first incident. Last January a Palestinian man armed with a knife wounded 12 people who were on the bus in Tel Aviv.
