A couple with their baby were attacked by Palestinian Arabs in the Old City of Jerusalem Saturday night while walking through the area near the Flower Gate.
The terrorists hurled rocks and bottles at the small family, who were shielded by a Shomrim civilian security guard that saw the attack and ran to protect them.
Although none of the family members were physically hurt, the security guard sustained an injury to his leg in the attack. He was treated at the scene by medics and did not require evacuation to a hospital.
Israeli security personnel have fanned out to search the area for the perpetrators.
