The terrorist, reportedly a 24 year old resident from the Jerusalem Arab neighborhood of Ras al-Amud, stabbed a 72 year old woman near the Central Bus Station.

A Jerusalem resident named Moshe spoke with TPS about the whole incident as he saw it unfold. “I was sitting in a store and when I was leaving the store, I heard screams in the distance,” Moshe said. “I then saw a few girls running to the store and one of them was crying.”

“The policeman who was near me started running to find the terrorist and eventually shot him.”

Emmanuel Stern, the Magen David Adom paramedic who evacuated the stabbing victim, spoke at the scene. “(The victim) is fully conscious and with one of our volunteer doctors., said Stern. “We provided her with life-saving medical treatment.

“She suffered a stab wound to her upper body and we quickly transported her to a hospital,” continued Stern. “On the way to the hospital she was fully alert and in communication with us.”

In addition to the stabbing victim, Magen David Adom is treating 14 people who were near the scene of the terrorist attack, with shock related symptoms. Eight of the victims were transported to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital for further treatment. The other six were transported to Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus, with one of the victims sustaining a light bruise.

Shortly after the terrorist attack, a number of young Israelis gathered at the scene and started to sing and dance in a display of courage during the current wave of terrorist attacks that has stricken Jerusalem and the rest of Israel.
