DHAKA: Ten people were wounded, one critically, when a car deliberately rammed pedestrians in Jerusalem on Wednesday, before the driver was shot dead by police.

Officials said, reports The Straits Times.

Police described the incident as a ‘hit and run terror attack’ and said it took place in the same area as a similar attack two weeks ago, in which a Palestinian rammed a car into a crowd killing a woman and a baby.

‘A commercial vehicle hit and ran over pedestrians at a light rail station,’ police spokeswoman Luba Samri said, indicating the incident took place on the seam line between west and annexed east Jerusalem.

After the car came to a halt, the driver, who was wounded, ‘got out of the vehicle and started to hit people with an iron bar,’ she said.
