'When we arrived at the scene we encountered a stab wound in his upper body, we gave him first medical aid at the scene and then he was taken in a police ambulance to the Hadassah Hera Tesov Hospital, where his condition at this stage is determined to be critical,' they said. Our news correspondent Cordelia Lynch is in Jerusalem and said a 'large crowd' had gathered, and a 'number of security forces' have arrived.
