Victim evacuated to Jerusalem hospital; manhunt launched for attacker in suspected terror attack
An Israeli man was severely injured when he was beaten and stabbed in central Ma’ale Adumim early Friday.
Investigators are looking at the incident as a possible terror attack.
The believed attacker, a Palestinian said to be in his early 20s, fled the scene. A manhunt was launched for him, including in Palestinian villages near the West Bank settlement, which lies east of Jerusalem.
A knife and an ax were found at the scene, the Israel Hayom daily reported.
The injured man, a security guard in his early 40s, was treated by Magen David Adom rescue medics at the scene and taken to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem.
He arrived in hospital unconscious and attached to a breathing apparatus.
