JERUSALEM, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Israeli police said on Wednesday they had arrested a 14-year-old Palestinian boy after he carried out a stabbing attack in the West Bank, injuring at least one Israeli woman.
The incident took place at the Maccabim Junction, west of Ramallah city.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the stabbing was a "terrorist attack" perpetrated by a teen resident of the West Bank.
Border police officers who were in the area shot warning shots in the air and apprehended the suspect.
A separate police statement said the boy was being questioned at the scene and the police launched an investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
Israel's Magen David Adom emergency medical service said that at least one woman has been injured, identifying her as a 22-year-old woman.
She sustained stabbing wounds in her back and torso and was rushed to a hospital in a light-to-moderate condition, said a spokesman with the emergency service.
The junction is located in the West Bank, a territory seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war. Israel has kept its control over the land ever since.
