The footage in question, first obtained by Channel 10, captures those aboard the bus fleeing from the scene, followed on foot by the 23-year-old terrorist from Tulkarm in the northern West Bank.
As the terrorist runs from the bus, he is seen stabbing a woman in the back, who then falls to the ground.
The terrorist continues on his way away from the bus, pursued on foot by three Israel Prison Service officers, who happened to be driving behind the bus at the time that the terror attack took place.
At least four of the victims – including the bus driver – were listed in serious condition, while three others suffered moderate injuries and two were lightly hurt. Several more people suffered shock, according to Magen David Adom paramedics.
The attack began at about 7 a.m., as the bus was reaching the Maariv junction in the center of the city. Eyewitnesses and police said the attacker began stabbing the bus driver repeatedly in the upper body. The bus began swerving in its lane as the driver fought with the attacker. The driver, a veteran with over two decades on the job, even tried to use pepper spray on the man, who began then attacking other passengers, police said.
The swerving bus caught the attention of an Israel Prison Service “Nahshon Unit” team who were driving behind the bus on the way to the Tel Aviv courthouse to pick up detainees. When the bus came to a stop and passengers began fleeing, three of the IPS officers began to chase the attacker as he fled east through parking lots and alleyways towards HaMasger Street.
The IPS officers managed to shoot the attacker in the leg and neutralize him, placing him under arrest.
What a way for Israelis to have to live. I’m sure, that after something like this happens, Netanyahu’s invitation for French Jews to come “home” to Israel looks very enticing!
Time to ARM bus drivers in Israel.
Gee, let’s predict the liberal and anti Semitic apologists’ justifications for this one : 1) They want Tel Aviv as their Capitol 2) Jews praying on the Temple Mount 3) poor living conditions for gaza…blah blah blah.
A bus load of people can’t stop a skinny guy with a knife instead running like cowards while he stabs more and more people?? Whe the hell is there a bus load of people without anyone carrying weapons? Why do you suicidal Israelis let Arabs on to your busses??? You losers!!
