A Palestinian man stabbed 13 people on a bus in Tel Aviv early on Wednesday morning, Israeli police have confirmed.
At least four people were seriously hurt, and the rest wounded, when the knife-wielding man boarded the number 40 bus on Menachem Begin road in central Tel Aviv and attacked the driver and passengers.
The 22-year-old from the West Bank town of Tul Karem, who was described by police as a terrorist, quickly fled the scene, but was tracked down and shot by prison service officers.
One officer involved in apprehending the man described his attempted escape: "Suddenly, we saw people running out of the bus and when we saw them shouting for help. We jumped out (of our vehicle) and I and three others started running after the terrorist. At first we fired in the air, then at his legs.
