The train guard describes, in his own words, how he captured the terrorist who was going to explode a bomb on the Jerusalem Light Rail:
(Video at the bottom of the article)
“As I’m watching the entrance to the train, I saw a man wearing a hat, glasses, a knapsack on his back, leaning on the wall and he’s scanning the train station left and right.
I approached the man, and questioned him, I said something wasn’t right.
I asked him to put down his knapsack.
He refused.
I immediately spun the man around, using reasonable force, I placed him against the wall, and checked him.
I took the knapsack off him, and saw a small bag inside. I lifted the bag up and saw the bomb.
I immediately knocked him down onto the ground.
A police sapper continues the story:
Two civilians approached me, they said there is a terrorist.
I ran to Yafo street and I saw the train guards who yelled there’s a terrorist, who was already on the ground, with guns pointed at him.
I understood there was a knapsack and inside was a pipe bomb. I moved everyone away…
The reaction of the train guards, who got there quickly, and the police, we cordoned off the area, and worked orderly to deal with the bomb.
