Five people have been injured during a knife attack near Roman ruins in Jordan.
Three Spanish women were injured alongside their tour guide when they were attacked near the city of Jerash, in northwest Jordan, around midday Wednesday.
Marco Junipero Serra, who claimed to have witnessed the attack, said on Twitter that the knifeman was wearing 'black militant gear including a head covering'.
A security officer was also hurt while trying to arrest the attacker, and all five victims have now been taken to hospital via ambulance.
