Medical personnel also provided assistance to several witnesses who were shocked by the events.
The attacker managed to escape. His motives remain unclear, and the police do not rule out an anti-Semitic motive behind the incident.
The scene has been cordoned off. The police have launched a large-scale operation to locate the attacker. The memorial for the Jewish victims of Europe is located in the heart of the capital, in close proximity to the embassies of many countries, including Russia and the USA.
