U.K. Police Identify Attacker in Deadly Synagogue Stabbing

At this time, we know that a car was driven directly at members of the public outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue on Middleton Road, Crumpsall in Manchester. The driver of the car was seen then to attack people with a knife. There were a large number of worshippers attending the synagogue at the time of this attack, but thanks to the immediate bravery of security staff and the worshippers inside, as well as the fast response of the police, the attacker was prevented from gaining access. All those inside were safely contained until police were able to confirm that it was safe to leave the premises.
