(MENAFN- QNA) Ten Israelis were injured in a stabbing attack carried out by a Palestinian in a bus in central Tel Aviv on Wednesday morning.
Tel Aviv police commander Bentzi Sau said ten people had been injured. He said the assailant was a West Bank resident who stabbed the driver and then attacked passengers shortly after boarding the bus. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the Palestinian was a 23-year-old resident of the town of Tulkarm in the West Bank.
A doctor at Tel Aviv's Ichilov hospital told Army Radio that seven people had been admitted for treatment, four of whom were seriously hurt. The perpetrator attempted to flee the scene following the attack, and was lightly wounded after being shot in the leg, a police spokeswoman said.
Police were treating the incident as a suspected "terror attack", Rosenfeld said. Officers were patrolling the area to prevent further attacks, he added.
