Border cop moderately wounded in Jerusalem Old City stabbing released from hospital

The border guard who was moderately wounded in a stabbing attack earlier this week is being released from the surgical ward where he was treated in Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus, the hospital says.

“The guard’s condition is good. He is recovering from his injury and it seems like he’ll be able to make a full return to action shortly,” the hospital says.

The Border Police officer was stabbed in the chest in the attack in the capital’s Old City on Monday night. His assailant was shot dead at the scene.
