After a chase, the suspect stepped out of the car and fired at police officers, critically injuring one of them.

The attacker was then shot and killed by police.

Israel police spokesman Superintendent Micky Rosenfeld tweeted, calling it a "terrorist attack".

He also said the vehicle the man drove is being examined.
