NEVE DANIEL, WEST BANK — Alarming video footage of a stabbing attack just south of Jerusalem on Tuesday has begun circulating online.

In the grainy video, a jogger identified as 28-year-old Israeli man Tomer Ditore can be seen running alone down a road. Ditore is seemingly unaware of a man in black, cutting across another road and racing toward him. The man in black turns the corner and darts up the road to catch up with the Ditore.

Creeping up behind, the attacker ambushes the Ditore, and begins stabbing him repeatedly. The attack lasts about eight seconds, at which point the assailant flees down a grassy hill and out of the frame. Ditore stumbles down the road until the video ends moments after the struggle. Another jogger is reported to have found him and called paramedics. Ditore suffered multiple stab wounds in the upper part of his body, but i24 News reports the victim’s wounds were light to moderate.

Meanwhile, security forces have commenced a manhunt for the assailant. The attack is suspected to have been an act of terror.
