While civilians came to her aid, 3 more were attacked, including the caller. Less than a minute after the call was placed, emergency personnel arrived. The perpetrator, Tòmas VeHeduden was caught in a nearby alley and wrestled down by police, reportedly dislocating his shoulder in the process. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, then to custody.
