A man in his 30s was lightly wounded in the suspected stabbing terror attack in the Damascus Gate area of the Old City of Jerusalem, United Hatzalah said early Friday morning.
He was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for further treatment by United Hatzalah.
Israel Police said that officers stationed in the area shot the terrorist after he approached security personnel located nearby.
The attack came hours after more than 50,000 people gathered at the Western Wall to recite the selichot earlier in the night.
This is a developing story.
