Has the stabbing intifada come to the United States? A 34-year-old Orthodox Jewish man was stabbed in the back by an assailant in Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn Wednesday night, reports CrownHeights.info.
The victim, an off-duty EMS worker for the Hatzalah ambulance corps in Brooklyn, was walking westbound along Eastern Parkway just before Rogers Avenue when the incident occurred. Police say the assailant walked past him in the other direction, then turned around and stabbed him in the back.
The man radioed for help from his fellow volunteers at the rescue organization Hatzalah, and then managed to walk to the intersection of Eastern and Rogers, leaving a trail of blood behind him. He collapsed just as a Hatzalah ambulance arrived at the scene.
The victim was given first aid and rushed to Kings County Hospital in critical condition. Sources report that doctors are optimistic he will survive.
The assailant escaped and is still at large. Witnesses describe him as wearing a hoodie with a mask covering his face.
No word yet from police on whether or not they consider this incident to be terror-related, but TruthRevolt will update as more information becomes available.
