The 32-year-old avreich told Walla News that he was walking with a Gemara and the three Arab males were waiting for them in a dark corner. “It was pitch black” he explained. His friend sustained moderate injuries.
“Three Arabs jumped on us. We did not see a thing. He shouted something against Jews. I did not see a thing. One of them cut me with a knife or another metallic object. It was a miracle – it was near the heart. My friend continued fighting them until he collapsed. I kept thinking how am I going to survive this and then I found myself on the ground”.

It is now reported that two Jews were arrested in connection with the stabbing. As stated earlier, it has yet to be conclusively labeled a terror attack.
20:02:
Police report that three Arab suspects were taken into custody a short time ago, all residents of the Old City. Once again it appears Arab residents of the capital are responsible for a terror attack.

CNN Headline: Two Jewish men try to steal knife from palestinian during skirmish in a contested part of Jerusalem.
Please daven for Avraham ben Mazal, age 45, undergoing intensive care at Shaarei Tzedek hospital, after being stabbed outside his Yeshivah in Yerushalayim.
going to cry when you punish em all by protecting yourselves. What absolute rot
jews were arrested? or Arabs?
?
was it arabs or jews that did it?
Where was it reported that Jews were arrested? I have not seen this mentioned anywhere else.
apparently 2 jews were arrested for a different reason connected to other violence, not this story
Perhaps Arabs come from a line of desert dwellers used to acting impulsively with a knife. They used to live under no government. And their history influences their thinking.
Thanks yocbm. @YWN please fix the erroneous update as it can easily be manipulated by the enemy.
