A bus has exploded in central Tel Aviv in what Israeli police said was a terrorist attack.

Emergency services organisation Magen David Adom said that seven people were injured in the attack, with at least three sustaining "severe" injuries.

The bus was on Shaul Hamelech Street, near to the Tel Aviv museum and the Kirya, Israel's national defence headquarters, although the number of the route has not yet been confirmed.

Police are believed to have apprehended a person thought to be involved in the attack after a chase through the streets of Tel Aviv.
