(Ynet News) Shmulik Grossman - Four Border Guard officers were injured Friday after being run over by a Palestinian driving a pickup truck in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Wadi Joz. The assailant attempted to escape and was shot after failing to obey a call to stop. Police suspect the incident was nationalistically motivated. Cpl. Shai Hazan, one of those injured in the incident, said from his hospital bed: "We were walking single-file towards the exit from Wadi Joz, and we saw a Toyota pickup truck slowly approaching us. He suddenly stepped on the gas and sped up his car....He rammed into us, I was tossed in the air from the force of the blow."
