Palestinian motorist rams pedestrians in Jerusalem, A Palestinian motorist rammed his vehicle into a group of pedestrians standing near a Jerusalem tram stop, injuring at least four, Israeli police said.
The incident, which police are treating as a suspected terrorist attack, occurred close to an Israeli border police station on a main road near East Jerusalem, the predominantly Arab side of the city.
Police said the driver got out of the vehicle and attempted to stab passersby before he was shot and wounded by a security guard. None of those hit by the car were seriously injured.
Friday’s incident happened close to the scenes of a spate of similar attacks late last year when Palestinians drivers rammed their cars into people waiting at tram stops. In those attacks, three people were killed and around a dozen wounded.
