An IDF soldier on Thursday morning 2 Cheshvan fired a warning shot in the air after seeing a suspected terrorist in the Haifa train station. The soldier told police the suspicious man was holding a knife.

A number of female soldiers who were on the train thought they too saw the man with a knife and shouted “Terrorist”, which prompted the soldier to fire his weapon. The suspected terrorist presumably fled.

There were no injuries. Police are investigating.
