Construction site manager Lazar Friedlander and his brother Matt restrained the attacker after hearing a "serious scream".
Mr Friedlander said: "We ran outside, I saw a Jewish man covered in blood.
"I'm Jewish myself, and I can see another Jewish man shouting 'hold him, catch him, he's got a knife! Stabbing!'
"There were a couple of other people trying to grab him.
"Me and my brother managed to force him down and put his hands behind his back until the police came."
Mr Friedlander said he tried to question the attacker who "just blanked me and wouldn't say anything".
