The victim suffered light injuries and was treated by rescue personnel before being taken for treatment at Hadassah Har Hatzofim Hospital, police said in a statement.
The injured teenager is from Brooklyn, NY, and was returning with a friend from davening at the Kosel.
The terrorists escaped into one of the Arab neighborhoods near the Old City. Police began a search for them, and they were found after about an hour. The two are 15-year-old residents of East Yerushalayim.
