Two yeshiva students in their early 20s were injured in a terrorist attack in Jerusalem on Friday afternoon.

One of the students - believed to be an American citizen - was stabbed in the chest by an assailant armed with a knife. The second victim was shot in the leg by police who were trying to stop the attacker.

The attacker has been identified as a 23 year-old Palestinian East-Jerusalem resident.

The attack took place on Bar Lev Street near Ammunition Hill and was the second in an hour.
