A 17-year-old boy was slightly injured today (Monday) in a stabbing attack in Jerusalem.
The suspect was arrested after fleeing the scene in the Old City, and was caught by the police.
Medical teams that arrived at the scene gave the 17-year-old boy treatment, and evacuated him to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in the city.
MDA medics Yehuda Zand and Baruch Weissman said: "The wounded man arrived at the tunnel near the Wall while he was conscious with a stab wound in his body.
He told us that he was stabbed near the chain link gate and ran towards the Western Wall.
We gave him medical treatment that included stopping bleeding and dressing and evacuated him in a light and stable condition for further treatment at the hospital."
Jerusalem is bleeding
At the end of the week, a terrorist drove his car towards a bus station in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem and killed 6-year-old Yaakov Israel Plai, 8-year-old Asher Menachem Plai, and 20-year-old Alter Shlomo Lederman.
Jacob's father and brothers were also injured - the father was moderately injured and the ten-year-old brother was lightly injured.
Only two weeks ago, another attack took place in the city, in the Neve Ya'akov neighborhood, in which seven people were murdered on Saturday evening by a 21-year-old terrorist from East Jerusalem.
The next day, another terrorist attack took place in the city, at the Tower of David, during which a father and his son, the officer, were seriously injured by gunfire.

6-year-old Yaakov Israel Plai arrived at the scene of the attack in his father's car, who dropped him and his brother off at the bus station, so that they could go to Shabbat "Sheva Baruchot" in Bnei Brak.
His funeral was held a few hours later, before Shabbat, at the Mount of Comfort cemetery in Jerusalem.
Dozens of people came to accompany the child.
The funeral took place without the presence of the father, who is hospitalized.
A third brother in the family, 8-year-old Menachem Plai, arrived at the Shaarei Zedek hospital without life, the doctors managed to restore his pulse and fought for his life for almost a day, but in the end they had to pronounce him dead.
20-year-old Alter Shlomo Lederman died of his wounds about an hour after the attack.
He was a yeshiva student who got married only a few months ago and was by his wife's side at the time of the event.
The two planned to go to Elad, to spend Shabbat with his parents.
At first it was suspected that he was hit by one of the gunmen who shot the terrorist to death, but after an examination, a police officer ruled out this possibility.
