(JNS) One person was moderately wounded in a stabbing at a bus stop in the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Neve Ya’akov on Wednesday afternoon, March 6, medical authorities said.
The victim is a 64-year-old Israeli man, according to the Magen David Adom emergency response organization.
He was evacuated to Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem’s Mount Scopus with “penetrating injuries,” the organization added.
Police said the suspect, a 14-year-old from the eastern part of the city, fled the scene. Large forces were called to the area and a manhunt was launched for the terrorist, who was swiftly apprehended.
