JERUSALEM (AP) -- A Palestinian assailant rammed his car into a group of Israeli pedestrians near an Israeli police station in east Jerusalem on Friday, injuring four officers and a bystander, and lunged at security guards with a knife before being shot and wounded, the police said.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri described the assault as a "terror attack."
The attacker first plowed onto the curb next to an Israeli paramilitary border police station in east Jerusalem, hitting three border policewomen and lightly injuring them, Samri said. He then charged forward, hitting another policewoman and an Israeli man.
A border police officer and a security guard fired at the vehicle from the entrance to the station, she added.
The Palestinian then got out of the car and tried to attack the guards with a butcher's knife, she said. The guards fired and seriously wounded him, she said. The injured and the motorist were taken to hospital.
