Jerusalem hit-and-run leaves at least three slightly injured, police say | Video

Jerusalem, Apr 22 (EFE/EPA) - At least three people were lightly wounded Monday in a car hit-and-run and failed shooting attempt allegedly carried out by two 17-year-old Palestinians near Jerusalem's central bus station, the police force said in a statement.

"Immediately after (the hit-and-run), two terrorists exited the vehicle armed with a 'Carlo' type weapon and attempted to open fire without success," the statement said today, adding that the attackers threw the submachine gun on the road and fled.

A few hours later, police reported the arrest as suspects of two 17-year-old Palestinians from Hebron, a city in the southern occupied West Bank, after "extensive searches" by border police and a helicopter.
