Israeli police says a police officer has shot dead a Jordanian attacker who stabbed him in the Old City of Jerusalem.
A knife was then pulled out and the man stabbed the officer in the chest, but the officer managed to hold off the assailant off and fired his weapon.
The victim was evacuated by paramedics to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, fully conscious and in stable condition with stab wounds to the upper body.
A second man was lightly wounded, with cuts to the hand.
A video uploaded by the Palestinian Quds News Network appeared to show the aftermath of the attack, with policemen attending to the injured officer and the alleged attacker lying inert on the ground.

Samri added that the attacker is a 57 year old Jordanian man who entered the country a week ago on a tourist Visa, and added that the police is still investigating his background, including the reason of his visit.

At least 244 Palestinians have been killed since the violence began. "She took out a knife and while screaming "Allahu Akhbar" tried to attack them", the spokesperson said.
