As the Ramadan Riots continue to escalate, Arabs attacked a car with Jewish occupants driving near the Old City of Jerusalem's Lion's Gate in an attempted lynch. The attack happened on Monday morning. As a result of the massive stone throwing, the driver lost control and crashed into a barrier, also at least one hitting of the Arabs attackers in the process. Other Arab rioters then continued their massive attack on the wounded Jewish driver and the cars occupants, and attempted to pull them out of the car and lynch them, but were then held at bay by a policeman who arrived and pulled his gun and shot in the air. The driver is listed as lightly wounded.
