An Arab attempted to stab a Jewish man in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City.
The victim, a 33-year-old resident of Petah TIkva, told TPS that he was on his way to the mikvah (ritual bath) when he passed a restaurant near the Hurva Synagogue.
"I heard a cry of 'Allahu akhbar!' about a meter away. I turned my head and saw an Arab coming towards me, wearing a Jerusalem municipality jacket and holding what looked like a knife. It was obvious that he was coming to stab me."
"I immediately grabbed a restaurant chair and slammed it into his head. He fell. Two police officers ran out of the nearby restaurant and arrested the suspect as a terrorist, and took him for interrogation and to further clarify the incident.
"It was a huge miracle that I noticed in time and managed to save myself and those around me."
