Israeli police officer stabbed in Jerusalem terror attack, in serious condition

An Israeli police officer is in serious, but stable condition after a 17-year-old Palestinian stabbed him without warning in Jerusalem on Monday.

The terrorist attempted to take the officer's weapon before fleeing the scene. Another office soon shot and killed the Palestinian.

Israeli authorities have warned citizens to be vigilant against terror attacks as the Israeli Defense Forces prosecute their war against Hamas in Gaza.

Local media says footage of police chasing the young Palestinian circulated on social media on Monday.
