A Palestinian terrorist stabbed an ultra-Orthodox man in Israel on Tuesday — only to have the victim superhumanly remove the knife from his own neck and then use it to kill the terrorist, The Times of Israel reports.

The insane event went down after the attacker followed the victim into a wine shop in Petah Tikva while the victim was out collecting money for charity. The attacker then stabbed the victim "multiple times" in the upper body according to police.
