Police nab would-be stabber en route to Jerusalem
Border Police detain a Palestinian who smuggled a knife onto a minibus heading from Shuafat refugee camp into Jerusalem, Israel Police say.
According to police spokeswoman Luba Samari, Border Police officers at a checkpoint on the road inspected the vehicle using a dog trained to find explosives, and discovered a knife wrapped in clothing hidden under one of the seats.
The security forces suspected that the knife belonged to one of the passengers, who had embarked with a young boy in his arms.
The suspect, a 24-year-old resident of the refugee camp, was taken in for questioning and the boy was handed over to family members.
