An Arab attacker was stopped Monday from stabbing a security guard in the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze’ev, near the Hizme checkpoint.
The terrorist, a male in his thirties, exited his vehicle and came towards a guard, waving a knife. He continued his advance even after several warnings from the security guard, who then opened fire, as did two civilians who were passing by.
