Caption: Man Shot by Police After Synagogue Stabbing in Manchester on Yom Kippur. A man was shot by police after reports of a stabbing and a car driven at members of the public outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester. The incident occurred at 9.31am on Yom Kippur, with firearms officers deployed and a “major incident” declared at 9.37am. Police said shots were fired at 9.38am, injuring the suspected offender, while paramedics treated four members of the public for stab and vehicle-related injuries. Social media videos showed armed officers pointing guns at a person on the ground and shouting at bystanders to move back. Middleton Road was closed between Wilton Road and Crumpsall Lane with a police cordon in place while emergency services responded. The Community Security Trust described the attack as appalling, noting the significance of Yom Kippur and security measures at synagogues. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham confirmed the immediate danger appears to be over and praised police response. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack, calling it horrific and particularly appalling because it occurred on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
