A 67-year-old Haredi man collapsed suddenly and lost consciousness on Pins Street in Jerusalem's Makor Baruch neighborhood on Sunday. The street is a busy thoroughfare connecting central Jerusalem neighborhoods with Geula. Emergency services, including Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah, responded rapidly to the scene.
Medical teams found the man lying on the sidewalk without a pulse or breathing. Witnesses reported he collapsed while walking. Paramedics immediately began extensive resuscitation efforts, including chest compressions, artificial respiration, administering life-saving medications, and using a defibrillator.
Paramedic Naftali Sofer and medics Sharulik Wels and Dudi Neigarten, among the first responders, described the dramatic scene. They worked alongside other MDA and Hatzalah teams to revive the man. After prolonged efforts, his pulse and breathing returned.
He was then urgently transported by a Magen David Adom intensive care ambulance to Shaare Zedek Medical Center. His condition was described as extremely serious and critical upon arrival, though it stabilized slightly after his pulse returned. The public has been called to pray for his full recovery.
