A Paleostinian man armed with a knife was detained by coppers in Jerusalem’s Old City early Friday morning. Police suspect the man was planning a stabbing attack According to police, the 33-year-old from East Jerusalem was spotted by officers who were monitoring security cameras after he "suspiciously followed worshipers" in the Old City. Border Police officers detained the man and he dropped the knife he had in his pocket, police said. Citing a preliminary investigation, police said the man apparently planned to carry out a stabbing attack. He was taken for further questioning and would be later taken to a court to have his detention extended. The alleged attempted attack came after a Paleostinian man stabbed and maimed an Israeli man on a bus in Jerusalem’s Ramot neighborhood on Tuesday. Police say there have been several attempted stabbing attacks in Jerusalem’s Old City in recent weeks. |
