A Palestinian bulldozer driver rammed a police car in Jerusalem, injuring two police officers,
and then hit a bus before he was shot, officials said today.
Israeli police said they regarded the incident as a terrorist attack.
The driver of the bulldozer was shot several times and taken by ambulance to hospital with
severe injuries. There were conflicting reports about whether he had been killed.
The two policemen suffered slight injuries.
Uzi Mahatabi, 32, a taxi driver who witnessed the incident said: "When I saw the bulldozer
throw the squad car up and down in the air with an officer inside, I realised it was a terror
attack."
Mahatabi said he got out of his cab, and fired two or three bullets, hitting the attacker in the
stomach after police had already shot the man.
The incident appears similar to at least two other attacks in Jerusalem last year in which
bulldozers were used against cars and buses.
