An Arab man was caught by Israeli police Tuesday afternoon after attempting to drive a tractor though traffic. The tractor was originally suspected of being stolen.
Witnesses say the tractor was headed for a small jeep at Shilat Junction near Modiin when it was identified by police in the area. The police blocked the path of the tractor, whose driver attempted a U-turn to evade them.
The police then fired several shots at the tractor and arrested the driver, who was unhurt. Police spokesmen could not rule out the possibility that the incident was 'terror-related'.
