Eight people were injured in Jerusalem on Wednesday, in a suspected terror attack, after a car rammed into civilians near a light rail station by Ammunition Hill.

Jerusalem Police said the driver of the car tried to escape but was shot by security forces. He was moderately injured.

Two people were in serious condition, MDA reported, including a 50-year-old woman. A three-month-old infant in critical condition was evacuated to Mount  Scopus’ Hadassah Medical Center.

Four others were lightly injured in the incident.

According to Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, at approximately 6 p.m. an unidentified Arab man drove his vehicle into a crowd of Jews near the train stop before being shot upon attempting to flee the scene.

“The vehicle ran over a number of people and the suspect was shot,” said Rosenfeld, who did not confirm if the attack was nationalistically motivated.
