A man in a bullozer ploughed into traffic in central Jerusalem on Tuesday in an attack mirroring the recent attack in which three Israelis were killed in the city earlier this month.
Five people were injured, among them several children, radio reports said, reported dpa.
Police shot and killed the attacker at the scene. He had rammed into a bus and several cars, according to the report.
The man's identity was not yet known, but an Israeli government spokesman told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa security officials had found papers on him indicating he lived in East Jerusalem.
On July 2, a Palestinian from East Jerusalem went on the rampage with a bulldozer on a main road in the city.
