Another attempted Stabbing – in Kiev

A man wielding a knife was arrested at the Brodsky central synagogue in Kiev on Friday evening.

The man was brought to the Pechersky district police station, the Interior Ministry reported.

According to the MIGNews, the incident happened during a Sabbath service at about 5:20 p.m. The man entered the synagogue and demanded to see the rabbi, but security found a knife on him and called the police.

Policemen shortly arrived on the scene, and the man explained that the Muscovite who committed a slaughter at the synagogue on Bolshaya Bronnaya Street in Moscow several weeks ago had impressed him. He said he came to the synagogue during the Sabbath service on purpose “to desecrate the temple.”

The prayer ceremony, however, was not even interrupted on orders of rabbi Moshe-Reuven Asman.
