[Jerusalem Post] Abe Selig - Nature and National Parks Protection Authority ranger Pini Birenbaum was patrolling the Jerusalem Trail in the Yad Avshalom neighborhood of Jerusalem on Sunday, when a 20-year-old Arab attempted to stab him with a knife. Birenbaum was able to dodge the initial strike and pull out his handgun, subduing his attacker. "If I hadn't been paying attention, or if I had acted more slowly, God forbid, you might not be interviewing me right now," Birenbaum said. "I acted according to my training and was doing my job, which is to secure and safeguard the historic sites around Jerusalem."
