Police say four officers are hurt as they break up a brawl between Jewish Israelis and Palestinians in the mostly Arab neighborhood of Silwan in East Jerusalem.
During the brawl, stones were hurled between the sides, and some participants used pepper spray, police say.
“Forces who arrived at the scene were also attacked by rioters who threw stones at them,” police say. Two of the officers required medical treatment.
The Palestinian Red Crescent says two Palestinians were also hurt in the incident. Their conditions are not immediately clear.
Two suspects were detained by officers, police say.
