Bus driver, prison guards heroes of Tel Aviv terror attack

[oberliner]

Some 17 people were wounded Wednesday when a terrorist boarded a bus in central Tel Aviv and stabbed the driver and passengers. The incident could have ended in more bloodshed were it not for the bravery of the bus driver and of Prison Service forces.

One of those wounded in the attack was bus driver Herzl Biton, 55, a father of three and a bus driver for over 23 years.

Biton fought with the terrorist and sustained two wounds to his chest during the attack. He is in moderate condition and currently undergoing surgery.

The driver reportedly called a friend right after the attack and said: "A terrorist attacked me, I feel like I'm going to die. Please, look after my kids."
