Masked Palestinian terrorists at large after stabbing 2 elderly women in Jerusalem
2016-05-11
[Jpost] Victims, ages 86 and 82, in stable, pH balanced condition; Police release 2 suspects after interrogation, continue searching in capital.

A peaceful morning stroll by a group of elderly Jewish women on a promenade overlooking sweeping vistas of Jerusalem turned into a bloody nightmare when two masked faceless myrmidons stalked and stabbed two of the octogenarians in their backs.

The attack, which ironically took place adjacent to the Peace Forest, occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. when five women, all in their 80s, were walking together on the popular Haas Promenade in Armon Hanatziv/East Talpiot, police said.

"The two faceless myrmidons stabbed them in the back multiple times, both in the upper body, and expeditiously departed at a goodly pace toward the adjacent neighborhood of Jebl Mukaber," police front man Micky Rosenfeld said shortly after the stabbings.

"Police and emergency units rushed to the scene and gave immediate medical assistance before transferring both women to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in moderate condition. While a forensics team searched the area, police set up roadblocks to find the terrorists."

Roughly one hour later, Rosenfeld said, Border Police officers tossed in the calaboose
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
two suspects matching the description of the assailants, but after extensive questioning, both young men were released without charges.

"Police are continuing to search for the faceless myrmidons involved in the attack and hope to make arrests soon," he said later in the day.

Shortly after the attack, Shaare Zedek Medical Center spokeswoman Shoham Ruvio said both victims were in stable, pH balanced condition and expected to survive.

"They are stable and conscious," said Ruvio. "One, 86 years old, was stabbed in the back three times and is in the intensive care unit. The second victim, 82, was also stabbed multiple times and is in the department for heart surgery. She doesn’t need surgery, but is being closely monitored due to a preexisting heart condition."

Meanwhile,

Rosenfeld said, security has been heightened throughout the capital, and will continue at elevated levels throughout the holiday.

"All public areas will have additional police units deployed and nothing will be left to chance, as the city observes Remembrance Day and Independence Day," he said.
