A young woman was stabbed and badly injured Monday afternoon in the northern Israeli city of Afula.
According to Magen David Adom, EMTs and paramedics evacuated the 18-year-old victim to Haemek hospital in moderate to severe condition with stab wounds to her upper body, after she managed to walk a few steps and collapsed next to an Aroma coffee shop.
Police who were dispatched to the scene said they identified a suspect who began to flee and refused to stop, after which they fired at his legs and arrested him.
A knife was found in his possession.
The stabber has been identified as a Palestinian man in his 20s from the West Bank city of Jenin who was in Israel illegally, police said. Police are investigating possible motives, and have not ruled out terrorism.
The alertness of the citizens who swiftly reported the incident enabled police to quickly send officers from the Special Patrol Unit to the scene, they said.
This is a developing story.
