Police in Israel are investigating the stabbing of three Eritreans in south Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning.

A man, said to be "mentally disturbed" and undergoing psychiatric treatment, has been arrested over the attack , which took place in an internet cafe.

Two of the three victims, all of whom are asylum seekers, were wounded by the man.

The owner of the café, who tried to stop the man from hurting anyone else, told the Jerusalem Post that the attack was unprecedented.
