Jerusalem – Israeli police say that a security guard has been stabbed near Jerusalem’s central bus station.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says the guard was seriously wounded Sunday and his attacker arrested. The Magen David Adom medical service says a 30-year-old male suffered a stabbing wound in his upper body.

Graphic video footage from the scene showed the terrorist slowly handing his belongings to the security guard, who was checking travelers at the door to the station, before suddenly taking out a knife and plunging it into the guard’s chest.
The terrorist then tried to flee the scene, but a police officer and a civilian chased after him and tackled him to the ground.
The incident appeared to be the first attack since President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The announcement set off protests and demonstration across the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and demonstrations around the world.
We wish him a complete Refuah Shelaimah.
Was the security guard wearing a protective vest?
In these fiery times, after President Trump’s declaration
it would certainly be necessary.
I he didn’t wear one, something is terribly wrong
with their security.
