Jerusalem Gay Pride: Six stabbed 'by ultra-Orthodox Jew' | |
(34 minutes later) | |
Police have arrested a man after six people were wounded in a stabbing at the Gay Pride parade in Jerusalem. | |
A police spokesperson told the BBC that the suspect was the same man who stabbed four people at the parade in 2005. | |
Yishai Schlissel, an ultra-Orthodox Jew, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for that attack and was released from prison three weeks ago. | |
Two of the injured are in a serious condition, the ambulance service said. | |
The march has long been a source of tension between Jerusalem's secular majority and its Jewish Orthodox communities. | |
Hundreds of police are deployed along the route to prevent violence breaking out. |
