An Arab Israeli motorist rammed a car into a policeman and two soldiers Sunday, wounding all three in an attack in northern Israel, police said.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that after a preliminary investigation, the incident in the city of Acre was deemed to be "nationalistic," a term usually reserved for politically motivated attacks on Israelis by Palestinians.

Security footage shows a speeding jeep streaking through a junction where a uniformed paramilitary man is crossing, striking him and sending him flying into the air. In subsequent footage, the same jeep is seen crashing into another car.

Rosenfeld said a bystander opened fire at the vehicle and wounded the driver, who was apprehended.
