A Channel One journalist was checking body armor for an article in 'Mabat' - and was stabbed in the back

January 6, 2016   

The experiment ended with stitches: Channel One reporter Eitam Lakhover went out this morning (Wednesday) to film an article about body armor for the 'Mabat' edition, which ended, embarrassingly, in the hospital.  In a post published today by the channel on its Facebook page, it was written: "Our reporter, Eitam the author, went out this morning to film an article about body armor, for the Mabat edition. ""During the article, I met with representatives of the company that manufactures the protective vests for the defense system and for the civilian market. While filming, the author agreed, at the request of the company representatives, to try the protective vest on himself. The attempt was unsuccessful, the vest did not live up to the manufacturer's promises, the knife penetrated inside, slightly wounding him. "נציגי החברה, שחשו מבוכה גדולה כתוצאה מהתקרית, הגישו ללחובר עזרה מידית. בהמשך, פונה לחובר לבית חולים לקבלת טיפול רפואי, שם הרופאים ביצעו תפרים לחתך שנוצר בגבו". עוד נכתב כי הפרטים המלאים והצילומים ישודרו הערב במהדורה עם יעקב אילון.
