Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said investigators were considering all motives, including nationalistic, as one of the victims apparently was an Arab.

The suspect was apprehended after wounding a man on one of the city's main streets and then told officers that he had shot dead another man at a location close to the Old City.

"The suspect was questioned by police at the scene and said he had killed a man in central Jerusalem, we cannot rule out any motives including nationalistic," Rosenfeld said.

He added that the man was undergoing a psychological evaluation.
