Palestinian Stabs Up To 10 People On Tel Aviv Bus

A Palestinian man reportedly stabbed up to 10 people on a commercial
bus in central Tel Aviv on Wednesday before he was shot in the leg by
a prison security officer as he made attempt to escape, police said.
Reuters report:

Tel Aviv police commander, Bentzi Sau said 10 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

"Shortly after he boarded the bus, the assailant stabbed the driver
several times but there was an excellent response from him as he
resisted the attack and in this way the terrorist was stunned," Sau
told reporters at the scene.
