One person has been killed and at least 13 wounded in Jerusalem, when a terrorist drove a car into a crowd of pedestrians at the Shimon Hatzadik train station, located on Shimon Hatzadik street north of the Old City and not far from the Municipality building.
Shortly after the attack one of those wounded in the attack - identified as a border policeman - was pronounced dead on his way to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.
A total of five victims are being described as in "serious" condition, at least two of whom are critical and "fighting for their lives" according to reports.
At least two others are "moderately" wounded.
Eye witnesses say the terrorist continued driving after running over an initial group of around five pedestrians standing along Route One in the capital, striking others before crashing into another car, and then another, before finally stopping. He then left the vehicle with an iron bar in his hand and started hitting passersby.
Border Patrol officers on hand at the scene shot the terrorist dead.
CCTV footage showed the terrorist running along Route One before being chased down and shot by a number of border policeman.
