Police initially thwarted attacker’s approach to pride parade

Another eyewitness, Dan, 22, says he saw the suspected attacker approach the parade by France Square, when a policewoman told him to stay away. He apparently took a side street around the parade, then ran at the crowd wielding a large knife and stabbing at least six.

Photos from the scene show police detaining an ultra-Orthodox man believed to have attacked the gay pride parade.
