On his way back from addressing journalists at the scene in the city of Ramla, Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was involved in a spectacular car crash in which three people were lightly injured, police said.
An AFP photographer at the scene saw two damaged cars, one which had flipped over. Israeli media reported Ben Gvir had been travelling in this vehicle.
Police said the traffic department was investigating an "accident in Ramla involving two vehicles, including the vehicle of the Minister of National Security."
Ben Gvir had been holding a press conference at the scene of the stabbing, saying a civilian had killed the attacker and claiming that "weapons save lives".
"I was moved when I found out that the civilian got his gun four months ago as part of the gun reform that I advanced," Ben Gvir had said.
An AFP photographer at the scene of the stabbing saw a body bag and a large number of police officers.
Israel's Magen David Adom emergency medical service said it was alerted to the stabbing in Harduf Street at around 4:20 pm (1320 GMT).
Medics treated the "conscious female in serious condition with a stab wound to her upper body" and took her to hospital, a spokesperson said.
