Police say woman shot after attempting to stab officers

Police say a woman “appears to have attempted to stab police officers” near the Old City’s Damascus Gate, in an apparent terror attack.

The border guards at the scene shot her, the police say.

According to Israel Radio, the attacker was killed.

A photograph from the scene that was posted on social media shows a figure, presumably the assailant, lying on the ground surrounded by Border Police officers.

None of the border guards are reported injured.
