An armed security guard gunned down a knife-wielding terrorist Tuesday on the streets of Jerusalem, after the man crashed the car he was driving into a bus stop and began hacking people on the street.
Alaa Abu Jama hit three pedestrians when he drove his company car into the bus stop, killing one 60-year-old Rabbi, then got out of the car and started stabbing them, reported ynet news. A nearby security guard ran onto the scene and began shooting the terrorist, who is an Israeli citizen.
The terrorist tried to get back up, but was again shot. Other people with guns arrived at the scene, and one person shoved the terrorist aside when he got up again and lunged at the security guard. Border Police forces arrive at the scene, reportedly hearing calls of “bomb,” and shot the terrorist again.
The terrorist was taken to the hospital in serious condition, and seven others were treated for light to serious injuries. (RELATED: Today’s Palestinian Terror Comes From Knives, Not Suicide Vests)
“I was near the terrorist who got out of the car — a giant man with hatred — and started hitting me, and I immediately realized it wasn’t an accident, but a terror attack,” one man wounded in the attack told ynet news. “I left everything and ran.”
The terrorist is related to two men who slaughtered worshipers in a synagogue in November, 2014. More than 20 Israelis were wounded and three killed in a string of recent shooting and stabbing attacks in Jerusalem, reported The BBC.
