Police arrested on Sunday a 17-year-old resident of the West Bank who is suspected of having stabbed a woman from Modi'in as she was walking out of her daughter's kindergarten.
The assailant stabbed the woman in the neck, lightly wounding her, and then fled the scene.
The woman rushed herself home and called the police, who arrived at the scene and began searching for the suspect.
After a short time, the 17-year-old resident of Salfit in the West Bank was located and taken into custody.
He admitted to the crime during questioning and said that his action was motivated by disappointment over his failure to find work in the area, and over other personal troubles.
