A police complaint has been filed against the suspect, who was recently released from prison.
“It was a great miracle; it could have ended in disaster. Hundreds pass by here every day to be blessed by the rabbi; it was lucky that we noticed the suspect,” a spokesman for the rabbi’s house told Kikar HaShabbat after the incident.
He described the suspect, saying that the man “looked stressed and very confused. It was not clear what his intentions were.”
