Police say officers shot and neutralized a suspected terrorist after he allegedly attempted to stab a YASAM officer during a patrol in Lod.
According to authorities, officers identified the suspect carrying a knife and ordered him to stop. Police say he instead ran toward the YASAM tactical unit operating in the area and attempted to stab one of the officers, prompting the officer to open fire. No officers were injured in the incident.
Large police forces remain at the scene to secure the area and collect evidence as the circumstances surrounding the suspected terror attack are under investigation. Central District Commander Deputy Commissioner Amir Cohen is en route to the scene to conduct a situational assessment.
