JERUSALEM, Aug 4 (Reuters) - A construction vehicle slammed into a bus in Jerusalem on Monday, overturning it, in what police described as a possible terrorist attack.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said no passengers were on the bus when it was hit. It said two people were injured in the incident, in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood of the city.

A police spokesman said a policeman shot at the construction vehicle's driver, "neutralising him", but did not elaborate on his condition. "It looks like a terrorist attack," the spokesman added.
