Bulldozer attack hits Jerusalem

A driver of a construction vehicle has wounded two people after going on a rampage in west Jerusalem, before he was shot dead.

The driver rammed into cars and a city bus in the Jewish area of the city on Tuesday, police said.

A police spokesperson said: "The bulldozer driver left a construction site, and hit two cars.

"A civilian who saw what was happening shot him."

The spokesperson said that police then shot at the assailant and killed him.

The attacker's identity has not been revealed and there has been no immediate claim of responsibility.

It is the second bulldozer attack this month.

Three weeks ago a similar attack took place in Jerusalem and left four people dead.

The Palestinian attacker smashed into vehicles and pedestrians before being shot and killed.
