The wounded policewoman was evacuated to Hadassah Medical Center on Mount Scopus. ‎

Relatives of the Palestinian man, identified as Ahmed Erekat, 27, expressed doubt that he ‎would have perpetrated such an attack, as he was planning to get married next week. ‎

‎"There is no way on earth he would attempt to carry out an attack," his cousin, Hiba Erekat, said.‎
