A woman was lightly injured in a suspected car-ramming attack at a West Bank checkpoint near Jerusalem a short while ago, police and medics say.
The suspected assailant accelerated his vehicle into the Bidu Checkpoint, near the Palestinian town of the same name, and hit another vehicle, according to police.
In the vehicle that was hit, a 49-year-old woman was lightly injured, Magen David Adom says.
The suspect then got out of his vehicle and attempted to flee toward Bidu. Border Police officers stationed at the checkpoint chased after him and fired shots in the air, before detaining him, police say.
