A Palestinian man armed with a knife was arrested late Thursday at an entrance to the Temple Mount, police said.

The suspect, a resident of the West Bank city of Hebron, told police investigators that he planned to stab a Jew, according to Jerusalem Police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby.

The knife was found on the Palestinian during a body search near the Jerusalem holy site.
