Several people were wounded on Wednesday evening October 22 2014, in a suspected terror attack near the light rail train station near Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem.
According to eyewitnesses, a car drove up to the station and ran over passersby disembarking from the train.Nine people were wounded in the attack, including the suspected terrorist. A baby in critical condition, a woman in seriously condition, two people moderately and four more lightly. The car drove 14 meters on the tracks itself, hitting disembarking passengers and continuing on along the length of the track. The driver hit a pole a few hundred meters down and attempted to flee on foot, when he was shot. The driver was arrested soon after the attack and hospitalized with moderate to serious wounds.
This kind of attack has been used several times in the past in Jerusalem, most recently in August, when a Palestinian man driving a digger in Jerusalem used his vehicle to flip over a bus, killing Avraham Walles, a 29-year-old father of five. Five others were lightly wounded in the attack: the bus driver, three passengers and a police officer.
