Bulldozer attacks crowded Jerusalem bus; dozens hurt

A bulldozer driver in Jerusalem targeted a bus on Jaffa Road in an apparent rampage on Wednesday afternoon, reportedly wounding dozens of passengers in what appeared to be a terror attack.

Channel 2 reported that at least one woman was killed in the attack and some 30 were wounded. A man climbed onto the roof of the bulldozer and shot at its driver. The television report reported the perpetrator was killed.

A suspect driving a tractor ran over a number of vehicles and Israelis in the street, on Jaffa Road. Israeli police arrived at the scene. Many people were injured," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

The driver plowed the bulldozer into a crowded Egged bus, attacking other vehicles and pedestrians, near the old Central Bus Station and the headquarters of the Israel Broadcasting Authority. The attack set off a panic in downtown Jerusalem. Dozens of people were seen running through the streets to flee the scene of the attack.

"I saw the tractor's shovel turn to the bus and deliberately hit it. It hit other vehicles as well," another Israel Radio reporter said.
