‘If stabber had pressed on, we would have killed him’

Barkat describes the attack to Channel 2, and says that “If he had continued stabbing, we would have killed him.”

“He didn’t try to attack me,” he says.

Barkat says there is a “dramatic” decrease in attacks in Jerusalem, and urges residents to be vigilant.
