Mayor Nir Barkat: Gibor

While the unfortunate reality is that the city of Jerusalem has become accustomed to random acts of terror over the years. However, it's not everyday that a terrorist attack unfolds just as the mayor of Jerusalem is passing by. But this is exactly what happened today.

While Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat was on his way to a conference with his security detail, they happened to pass by right at the moment where a terror attack was unfolding. A Palestinian terrorist had just attacked and stabbed a young Haredi Jew near Kikar Tzahal in central Jerusalem. In an incredible act of braveness, Mayor Barkat took direct action himself and subdued the terrorist, along with assistance from his security team. You can see Barkat in the white shirt take down the knife wielding terrorist in this video that was shot from a nearby security camera.
