East Jerusalem resident arrested on suspicion of stabbing elderly woman

A man from east Jerusalem was arrested on suspicion of stabbing a 74-year-old woman in her Jerusalem apartment on Thursday in a suspected terror attack, Ynet reported on Friday.

The woman is reportedly in moderate condition. Two interns at the Jerusalem District Attorney's Office - one of whom volunteers for United Hatzalah - helped to save her life, Ynet added.

The injured woman called her daughter, and and was taken to Shaare Zedek Hospital.

Shin Bet is involved in the investigation, the report added. Ynet also stated that "suspicion has grown that this was a nationalist attack."
