MDA medics Yoni Ohayon and Ophir Partenki describe the scene of the attack:
When we arrived at the scene we saw on Herzl Street near the bakery a woman, about 80 years old, lying on the pavement, conscious, and suffering from a bleeding wound in her upper body. We gave her first aid and evacuated her to Assaf Harofeh Hospital in moderate-serious condition.
Another MDA medic Nir Babai describes treating the second casualty of the attack:
On the sidewalk sat a young man, about 26 years old, who was suffering from a stab wound in the leg. We administered initial care and evacuated him to the hospital.
A third man wounded in the attack was treated by MDA medics Moshe Pinto and Effi Bar:
We were led to a man, about 35 years old, who was lying in a bus with a stab wound to his upper body. He was fully conscious and told us that he noticed a commotion on the bus when he suddenly felt a blow to his back. We administered initial treatment to his stab wounds and evacuated him to Assaf Harofeh Hospital in moderate-serious, but stable condition.
