At least six people including two children were injured after the suspect rammed his car into several pedestrians in east Jerusalem on Friday, February 10, wounding at least six people, Israeli paramedics said, according to the Associated Press.
Six total casualties were reported at the scene, including two children in critical condition, two adults in critical condition and two other adults in moderate condition.
Four injured individuals were brought to Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, according to a report from the hospital.
One of the children, a six-year-old boy, has since died.

It comes as the latest incident as violence rises in the contested capital.
The alleged car-ramming took place at a bus stop in Ramot, a Jewish settlement in east Jerusalem.
Tensions have soared in the Israeli-annexed eastern half of the city, following a Palestinian shooting attack on January 27 that killed seven people in the deadliest attack in Jerusalem in over a decade.
The Israeli rescue service said its medics were treating six wounded, including two children in critical condition undergoing CPR.
It said two victims were unconscious and in serious condition, while the other two were in moderate condition.
Israel claims all of Jerusalem as its undivided capital, while the Palestinians seek east Jerusalem, captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, as a capital of their future state.
United Hatzalah volunteers responded to the incident in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem on Friday around 1.30pm local time, February 12, the Jerusalem Post reports.
Emergency responders received a call on the 101 hotline at 1:27pm about a vehicle hitting several pedestrians at a bus stop on the corner of Golda Meir Avenue and Binyamin Mintz in Jerusalem’s Ramot neighborhood.
