The assailant was shot and killed by police at the scene on Sunday.
A spokesman for Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service said earlier that the man was stabbed in the upper body and was rushed to hospital by ambulance in critical condition.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said he was in his 30s and worked as a private security guard.
Israel's Shin Bet security agency named the attacker as Abdel Rahman Bani Fadel, 28, a Palestinian father of two from the village of Akraba near the town of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
