An Israeli was stabbed and seriously injured Monday near a train station in Tel Aviv, in a suspected nationalistic attack, police said.
"A young man was stabbed in the Hagana train station in Tel Aviv," Xinhua quoted a police spokesperson as saying in a statement. "The suspect was arrested at the scene."
Micky Rosenfeld, a spokesperson with the police, later identified the suspect as a 25-year-old man from the West Bank city of Nablus.
A spokesperson with Magen David Adom, Israel's ambulance service, said in a text message that the victim was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
The circumstances and motive behind the attack Monday remain unclear, but there have been two previous politically motivated attacks by Palestinians against Israelis last month.
