In a statement, Israel Police say officers noticed the 15-year-old acting suspiciously near the Damascus Gate entrance. The officers chased the teen through the Old City’s alleyways, eventually arresting him near an entrance to the Temple Mount. During the chase, the suspect threw away a bag he was carrying. It was later found by officers, with a large knife in it, police say. Police say that during the suspect’s interrogation "suspicion arose that he intended to carry out a stabbing attack." His remand has been extended by three days.
