In a statement, police say the Palestinian, a 19-year-old man, was stopped because he aroused officers’ suspicion. He was then taken aside for a more thorough examination.
At one point, the statement says, an officer noticed that the suspect had dropped a blade on the floor and was attempting to conceal it with his foot.
It was then that he was arrested and taken for questioning, police say.
