Police have arrested a man after six people were wounded in a stabbing at the Gay Pride parade in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
A police spokesperson told the BBC that the suspect was the same man who stabbed three people at the parade in 2005.<\/p>\n
Yishai Schlissel, an ultra-Orthodox Jew, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for that attack and was released from prison three weeks ago.<\/p>\n
Two of the injured are in a serious condition, the ambulance service said.<\/p>\n
Eyewitnesses told Israel’s Haaretz newspaper that the attacker emerged behind marchers and began stabbing them while screaming, before being tackled by a police officer.<\/p>\n
