JERUSALEM, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli police said a knife-wielding Palestinian youth seriously injured an Israeli man in a supermarket in central Israel on Wednesday.
The assailant was identified as a 19-year-old resident of the West Bank, Police Spokeswoman Luba Samri said, adding that the incident is suspected as a "terror attack."
She said the young man entered a supermarket in Yavne, a city in the central district, at noon and stabbed a man before he was caught by civilians, who called the police.
A video clip on Israel's Ynet website showed three passers-by kicking the Palestinian in the head as another man held him to the ground.
According to Israeli emergency medical services, the man in his 40s was badly wounded in the stabbing.
The attack is still under investigation, Samri said.
The stabbing was the latest in a wave of violence that erupted in mid-September 2015, which has claimed the lives of at least 283 Palestinians, 44 Israelis, two U.S. nationals, two Jordanians, an Eritrean, a Sudanese and a British tourist.
