The policemen were lightly wounded.

The event, which occurred on Rambam Street in Tirat Hacarmel, seems to be criminal in nature.

"One of the policemen who were stabbed managed to shoot the attacker and neutralize him."

United Hatzalah volunteer medic Lior Fadida said, "When I arrived a the scene I found two people injured from stab wounds and both were conscious."

"I treated one patient who suffered a stab wound while other volunteers from the ambucycle unit who had arrived were treating the second patient. The third person who was unconscious and not breathing was taken care of by security forces.
