“I went out with my wife and baby for a walk after the meal. We were walking on the path near the park when the terrorist ran past us. Miraculously he didn’t see us. He was shouting Allahu Aqbar and acting wildly as he ran to the park.

Knife used in terror attack

“I didn’t yet realize that it was an attack until I saw a young man on the ground bleeding and crying for help. I told my wife to run home and ran to help the man. I searched where his bleeding was coming from and placed my Bekeshe on him. He was semi-conscious and said that he couldn’t feel his lower body. He asked me if he would make it, I tried to calm him and called for help. I didn’t leave hold of the knife until an ambulance arrived to evacuate him as this is what I learned in a first aid course.”

A group of policemen and first aid responders arrived at the scene and began to treat the injured man until the ambulance arrived to transfer him to Shaarei Tzedek hospital.
