Palestinians stone Israeli car, which hits one of them

CCTV footage showed the Palestinians milling around slow-moving traffic on a junction outside the walled Old City and then converging on a car.

One of the Palestinians briefly opened a door of the car as it backed away, rocks pelting its bonnet.

The car then swerved back into the junction, striking one of the stone-throwers and pinioning itself on a pavement barricade, its driver-side door flying open, the CCTV footage showed.

Several Palestinians rushed up to lob rocks at the driver and a passenger, who could be seen gesticulating through the window.

The stone-thrower struck by the vehicle limped away. Twenty-five seconds after the collision, an Israeli police arrived and fired his pistol in the air to disperse the crowd.
