“My husband went out and went in and said, ‘There was a terrorist attack’.
“I talked to someone who said he was driving and I saw a car driving irregularly and hit the doors [of the synagogue].
“Maybe he thought he had a heart attack. The second he left the car, he started stabbing any of them. He went to the security guard and tried to enter the synagogue. He was in the courtyard.
“Someone barricaded the door. Everyone is completely shocked.”

“But then he went out and stabbed the man lying on the floor.
“This was directly out of the synagogue. Knifeman passed through the front doors and stabbed at least two men.”
