At least 4 injured in suspected Petah Tikva terror attack

Four people are now said lightly injured following an attack in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva.

A man and a woman in their 50s, as well as an approximately 30-year-old woman, are being treated for gunshot wounds to the legs, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says.

Also, another man in his 40s suffered a stab wound to the upper body, the medical service says.

All four are being taken to Petah Tikva’s Beilinson hospital for treatment.

Police say the shooting and stabbing attack in an outdoor market in Petah Tikva is being considered a terror attack.

The suspect, a resident of the West Bank, was captured by officers with the gun used in the attack still in his possession, police say.
