Police say officers detained a teen suspected of stabbing a man waiting at a bus station in northeast Jerusalem’s Neve Yaakov neighborhood.

The assailant, a 14-year-old East Jerusalem Palestinian, initially fled the scene, but was caught a short while later in the area, police say.

The victim was taken to a hospital in Jerusalem with light-to-moderate injuries, medics say.

Police say the stabbing was a terror attack.

Hadassah Hospital says the man is in moderate condition and stable.
