Zvi Tal, 64, of Ramat Shlomo, shared his harrowing experience following today’s stabbing incident in Neve Yaakov, in northern Yerushalayim, from his hospital bed at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital.
Describing the events, he recounted, “This morning I was waiting for a bus en route to the Atarot industrial zone. A young person stood behind me at the bus stop. I noticed their presence but paid it no mind. Suddenly, I felt a forceful impact on my back, as if someone had struck me.”
Initially unaware of the nature of the assault, Tal continued, “It didn’t register as a knife at first. Only after witnessing the assailant fleeing did I turn around to find a knife lodged in my back.”
The perpetrator, a 14-year-old resident of Kafr ‘Aqab in northern Yerushalayim, was swiftly apprehended a short distance from the scene and taken into custody.
In response to the incident, Yerushalayim District police detained another 14-year-old individual from Kafr ‘Aqab for questioning. While the attacker acted alone, authorities are investigating any potential links or complicity with terrorism.
