(LONDON) — A vehicle was driven toward a crowd of people and a man was stabbed near a synagogue in Manchester, a northern British city, police said. “One man has been shot, believed to be the offender,” the Greater Manchester Police said on social media. The incident occurred outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in a northern suburb of the city on Thursday morning, law enforcement said. Thursday is Yom Kippur, which is considered the holiest day of the year in Judaism. The website of the synagogue where the incident occurred listed Yom Kippur-related events for both Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
