Mayor praises policeman who stopped terror attack
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat praises the “resourcefulness” of the policeman who shot the terrorist and ended the terror attack in Jerusalem.
He points to “the resourcefulness of the policeman who rushed at the terrorist together with another two friends, two warriors.”
“First of all, we ask police officers and residents to stay alert and vigilant. This is a very tense time. This is true for all residents of Israel everywhere.”
Barkat noted that the policeman and two others “ran to the location [of the attack], took initiative. I’m very proud of them.”
