Police say the officer wounded during the stabbing attack at a checkpoint at the entrance of the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, was also hit by so-called friendly fire.
The Border Police officer and a civilian security guard working at the checkpoint boarded a bus to question passengers when one suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the officer, police say.
The civilian guard opened fire, hitting the officer. The Palestinian suspect, 13, was detained.
The officer has been taken to a nearby hospital and is listed in critical condition due to wounds sustained by both the stabbing and gunfire.
