Ynetnews reports: A female attacker stabbed and lightly wounded an Israeli woman at the Rosh HaAyin industrial area on Sunday afternoon.

The attacker, a 23-year-old resident of Kafr Qasem, was subdued by a security guard who was nearby and arrested with no shots fired. A second knife was found in the attacker’s possessions.

Security camera footage reveals what happened during the attack, showing at least 10 civilians surrounding the stabber and throwing objects at her, and two drivers blocking her path with their vehicles so she could not get away.

The man who subdued the attacker said that while driving his car, he noticed “two girls fighting, and then I realized one of them had a long knife in her hand.” He stopped his car and overpowered the attacker. He was later questioned by police.
