Yoot attempts to stab police in Jerusalem’s Old City

[IsraelTimes] Suspect shot in hand during manhunt after trying to stab group of border officers near Herod’s Gate.

Police officers arrested an Arab youth who was suspected of trying to stab people in the Old City of Jerusalem on Monday, police said.

The suspect was detained after a brief chase through the Old City.

Only the assailant was maimed, police said in a statement.

According to the statement, the suspect attempted to stab a group of Border Police officers near Herod’s Gate, one of the gates on the northern end of the city walls.

The suspect then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, leading officers on a foot chase.

Officers caught up to him in the Moslem Quarter near the Lions Gate, opened fire and reportedly maimed the suspect in the hand. He managed to escape into a nearby home, where officers found him.

The name of the suspect was not immediately released.

A police front man said there was "heightened security in [the] area."
