A 23-year-old Palestinian man who allegedly stabbed and wounded two police officers in East Jerusalem’s Ras al-Amud neighborhood earlier today has been detained, police say.
The suspect fled the scene to the home of a relative in nearby Jabel Mukaber.
A man claiming to be the suspect’s brother tells reporters at the scene that he turned the suspect over to police and that the incident was a brawl, not a terror attack.
