One person has been seriously wounded in a stabbing attack at the Old City of Jerusalem’s Sha’ar Yafo (Jaffa Gate), on Wednesday afternoon. MDA says a 50-year-old man is in serious condition after being stabbed multiple times in the upper body. From the photo released by the police, he appears to have been attacked with a meat cleaver. A second person was lightly wounded and also taken to the hospital.
In the video, the attacker can be seen walking past his victim, turning around and repeatedly stabbing him. Another civilian then rushed at the terrorist and tries to stop him.
