A driver crashed into a police officer and two other people Sunday in northern Israel before being shot and wounded, but authorities said it was not clear if the incident was an attack.

Police said they were looking into the events in the city of Acre, adding that those hit were lightly wounded.

One was hit near a market, while the two others were near a train station, police said.

Palestinians and Arab Israelis have carried out car ramming attacks against Israeli security forces in the past.

No details were immediately available on the driver’s identity.

Acre, located along the Mediterranean coast, has a mixed population of Arab and Jewish Israelis.
