Two people were killed and three seriously injured after a man drove into pedestrians and stabbed a security guard near a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Yom Kippur. Police shot the suspect, who is believed to be dead, though confirmation is pending due to suspicious items found on him. A bomb squad was called to the scene.
The attack occurred near the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in the Crumpsall area. Authorities responded within minutes. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced increased police presence at synagogues nationwide, and King Charles III expressed deep shock over the incident.
The attack comes amid heightened concern over antisemitism in the UK, which saw over 3,500 incidents in 2024—the second highest on record.
