MDA medics and paramedics were dispatched to the scene and swiftly administered necessary medical treatment to a 25-year-old man who had sustained stab wounds. The wounded man was then referred to Shaare Zedek Hospital for further medical attention.

Paramedics Elad Rosemarin and Sarah Kapah said, "When we arrived at the train station on Shimon Hatzadik Street, we saw a 25-year-old man fully conscious with a stab wound in his upper body, we gave him life-saving medical treatment and evacuated him to the hospital in moderate condition."

The suspected terrorist is reportedly a 14-year-old male from east Jerusalem.

The capital has been the site of numerous attacks in recent weeks, with three Israelis injured in a ramming attack last week.

Later at night, an explosive wounded four Israeli soldiers in the West Bank city of Nablus, continuing a wave of terror.
