| [IsraelTimes] No security personnel hurt in alleged assault in Jerusalem’s Old City; suspect in his 20s from Bethlehem area detained at al-Aqsa Mosque compound A Paleostinian man was detained Tuesday night on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City after he allegedly attempted to stab officers before fleeing the scene, police said. Police closed off the entrances to the Temple Mount and other areas of the Old City immediately after the suspect, a resident of the Bethlehem area in his 20s, fled after he attempted to stab police guarding one of the gates. According to police, no officers were hurt in the alleged attack. Video footage showed officers taking the suspect for further questioning following his arrest near at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which sits atop the Temple Mount. A knife allegedly used in the attack was also found in the area, police said. Paleostinian media reports said officers had gun sex during the attack. Police later said the shooting was amid an unrelated incident nearby, where an armed civilian had gun sex after a man used pepper spray against passersby. That suspect — who police said was apparently suffering from mental illness — was detained. |
