#stabbing attack

Graphic footage posted to social media showed a Border Police officer trying to apprehend the suspect as two other Palestinians were trying to pull him free.

An officer managed to pull the alleged stabber away from them in a headlock, but the suspect then briefly freed himself from his grasp and appeared to try and grab the officer’s automatic weapon.

“Oscar Salminen Goes To Kingston For Three Years,” Sault Star. October 24, 1931. Page 2. ---- William Cedar Draws 18 Months; Stabbed Nikki Peera Is Charge ---- Oscar Salminen, 373 Albert Street, West [Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario] was sentenced to three years in Kingston penitentiary when he appeared before Judge F. Stone in the District Court this morning charged with the stabbing of Nikki Peera on the night of August 10. At a previous hearing Salminen pleaded guilty to the charge. William Cedar, 373 Albert Street West, charged with the same offence, was found guilty and was sentenced to 18 months in Burwash Prison. 

Rev. I. G. Perkins, Mr. Otto Nenoen and Mr. S. Hainenen, gave evidence as to the good character of both accused. Mr E, V, McMillan, urged that Salminen, who did the actual stabbing, was drunk at the time and that bad companionship was the cause of both men appearing in the dock. 

Judge Stone, in giving the sentence, pointed out that Peera had been stabbed when four men set on him at the instigation of a woman. He characterized the beating up and stabbing of Peera as a cowardly thing and pointed out that Salminen and his companions were not too drunk to act on the suggestion of the woman. Salminen was not so intoxicated, Judge Stone said, that he could not formulate the thought of stabbing the complainant and was not so incapable that he was prevented from taking his knife out of his pocket, opening it, and stabbing Peera while he lay in an unconscious condition on the ground.

‘Stabbing must stop,’ Judge Stone said. ‘We did manage to stamp it out, and this is the first case of that nature we have had to deal with in a number of years. I must therefore impose a severe penalty in order to discourage such conditions in the city. You might have just as easily murdered the man, as inflict the wounds you did.’

An Orthodox Jewish man was injured in a random stabbing attack in Lakewood this morning, TLS has learned.

The man was walking in the area of MLK Drive shortly after 9:00 a.m. when a woman walked up to him from behind and stabbed him, sources said.

During a Chanukah gathering in the home of Rabbi Chaim L. Rottenberg, in the Forshay neighborhood in Monsey, N.Y., an individual with a scarf covering his face entered just before 10 p.m., brandishing a knife and began stabbing some of the Chassidic Jews gathered for the celebration.

A Chassidic man threw a table at the assailant and chased him from the home.

The attacker then attempted to enter the adjacent synagogue, but was locked out by the people there, who barricaded themselves inside. Five people were stabbed, at least one in critical condition. The assailant fled in a gray car and was reported to have been placed under arrest in New York City two hours later.

The attack comes on the heels of the antisemitic massacre at a kosher grocery in Jersey City on December 10th, and a string of antisemitic attacks in New York City just days before.

A man has been arrested after a stabbing attack in the predominantly Jewish district of Golders Green, in London UK, where 2 Jews were severely injured outside a synagogue area.

One of the victims of Sunday's terror stabbing attack at a mall in Gan Yavne has succumbed to his wounds, Ichilov Hospital says.

He is named as Lidor Levi, 34.

Levi is survived by his wife, who is pregnant, his six-month-old daughter, his parents, and two siblings.
