09:57: Emergency agencies are responding to a report of an attempted stabbing attack near the Jerusalem Central Bus Station. It appears an Arab male was waving a knife and tried to stab a female. Soldiers at the station realized what was taking place and they fired at the terrorist.
More to follow.
10:00: The terrorist is in custody. There does not appear to be anyone wounded B’chasdei Hashem.
10:05: As one can discern from the photos, the attempted attack occurred on the island between the entrance to the Jerusalem Central Bus Station and the CBS light rail station.
10:08: It is reported that a light rail security agent saw the Arab male with a knife and questioned him. He was taken into custody, handed over to police. Reports of gunshots to stop the terrorist appear to be unsubstantiated at this time.
It is added the man in custody did not brandish the knife, but he was carrying it on him.

If the terrorist is in custody, this was a failure. We are going to shoot to kill with one bullet should be the message the pals get.
Do not kill.
Cut off his 10 fingers and ,, send him home.
