Police arrest Haredi man suspected of trying to stab Arab cab driver
By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent

Jerusalem Police on Sunday arrested a 30-year-old ultra-Orthodox man after he allegedly attempted to stab a Palestinian taxi driver at the Mount of Olives.

Police stated that the suspect hailed the cab Sunday night and asked the driver to take him to the Neve Samuel neighborhood for prayers. Shortly thereafter, the two got into an argument and the driver offered to take the suspect to the Mount of Olives. The suspect agreed, and when the two arrived at the Mount, he allegedly drew a knife and attempted to stab the driver.

The driver was not harmed and was able to call for help.

A Border Police patrol operating in the area came to the driver's aid and subdued and arrested the suspect.
