IDF soldier stabbed at Tel Aviv train station

A soldier was stabbed Monday afternoon after a struggle with a Palestinian who attempted to grab his weapon at the Haganah Train Station in Tel Aviv. He was evacuated in critical condition to Sheva Hospital in Tel HaShomer.

Police forces and Magen David Adom emergency teams were deployed to the scene. Eyewitness accounts said the soldier was stabbed in his stomach and sustained massive blood loss. The suspect fled, but police officers arrested him a few streets from the scene. The suspect is 18-year-old Nur al-Din Abu Khashiyeh, a resident of Nablus illegally staying in Israel.

Tel Aviv Police Chief Bentzi Sau arrived at the scene and wished the soldier a speedy recovery. "The first clear picture we have is that a soldier was attacked by a member of a minority group living in Nablus. He attacked him with a knife, stabbed several times, and attempted to take his weapon."
