Jewish Man Attacked by Ax-Wielding Assailant in Jerusalem

(Israel Hayom) Itsik Saban and Yori Yalon - Nahum Weisfish, 69, survived an attack Monday in Jerusalem by a man who repeatedly attempted to strike him in the head with an ax. "I noticed someone running up behind me and tried to run away. When I turned around, I saw an Arab man wielding an ax. I tried to grab the ax and as we struggled it fell from his hand. At that point, the Arab man fled and I noticed that the ax had cut my wide-rimmed hat, which had partially blocked the strike. My kippah [skullcap] also helped block the blade....I experienced a great miracle."
