A 64-year-old man was wounded in a terror attack by a knife-wielding terrorist near a bus stop in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israeli media reported on Wednesday. 

The police said the terrorist, a 14-year-old resident of Kafr Akab in the north of Jerusalem, stabbed the victim in his upper body.

Magen David Adom (MDA) medics and paramedics treated the victim and evacuated him to the Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center. The man was in moderate condition.

Police arrest the suspect

Forces on the ground along with a helicopter searched the area and found the terrorist who had fled the scene. 

The police said it found the knife used in the attack.

The police spokesperson said forces commanded by Jerusalem District Police Commander Doron Turgeman continued the investigations at the scene, and the situation was being assessed.

Later on Wednesday, the police said it had taken for questioning an additional 14-year-old suspect resident of Kafr Akab for a possible connection with the terrorist and involvement in the attack. 

In an interview with Kan News, the victim said, "I felt someone hitting me in the back; I turned around and understood there was a knife there...He [the terrorist] had fled in the meantime."

"I thought he was waiting for the bus, but he was waiting for me," he said.
