A man was arrested in the center of Jerusalem on Friday afternoon after a brief manhunt that brought the light rail to a halt. Reports suggest the suspect was about to carry out an attack. Light rail service in the area between Central Station and Damascus Gate was briefly shut down as Israeli police searched the area. Videos posted to social media showed Israel’s elite counterterrorism Yamam unit heavily armed while operating in the area. The suspect was later spotted on Hanaviyim Street off of Yaffo and was detained. An investigation is underway.   (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
