"I read Shema and felt that I was going to die"

"I said Shema Yisrael, and I felt like I was going to die", this was, with a low bass voice, the chillingly recounting of Shmuel Reisman, of the brutal attack in which he was stabbed on Friday at Shaar Binyamin.

Reisman (30), weak but determined, provides Behadrey Haredim with a special interview, he has difficulty speaking because of the pain he suffers because of the terrorist's stabs.

Shmulik, as he is called, has recently moved from the town of Yeruham to Tel Zion - a total of three months.



In the conversation Reisman details the chronology of the events in all its details, as he shows great awareness of everything that took place despite the obscurity in which he was in those difficult moments.

"I went shopping at Rami Levi at Shaar Binyamin," he says, "I finished my shopping and headed toward the pharmacy. When I left my car I decided to take with me the tear gas gun I carry although it was a brief sortie.

When I arrived at the place at 13: 35pm, I came to see that the pharmacy is closed. As I read the ad that lists where there are pharmacies open, I felt someone holding me from behind, grabs right, and stabbing me with a knife in the neck. I realized immediately that I was in fact a victim of a terrorist attack. I pushed him to a distance of two meters using an elbow blow, and I could see him for one second. I did not see the knife. He said nothing, but just stood in front of me."

Reisman did not lose his nerve despite the multiple stab wounds to his body, five or six of them: "I pulled out the gas gun at his face, causing him to run away. I managed to splash a bit, but it was not effective. The gun was used as a deterrent, probably because the terrorist thought it was firearms. I screamed 'He stabbed me', while I was walking around stabbed and bleeding toward the intersection - where there is a concentration of people, and at the same time called the police and told that I was stabbed at Shaar Binyamin".
