Four people were wounded in a stabbing attack on Tuesday in Tel Aviv while the attacker was killed, Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom said.

The police said an initial investigation "revealed that a terrorist armed with a knife stabbed three civilians on Nahalat Binyamin Street and one civilian on Gruzenberg Street".

Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv said it had received three stabbing victims, including one in "a serious condition with a knife wound to the neck" who was taken into surgery.

The Nahalat Binyamin street and surrounding neighbourhood of Tel Aviv are popular for their restaurants and nightlife.

The area was cordoned off by the police, while an AFP journalist saw the dead body of a man on the street.

This was the second stabbing attack in Tel Aviv in four days, after another assailant seriously wounded a person on Saturday before being shot by an armed civilian.
