MANCHESTER, England, Oct 2 (Reuters) - At least two people were killed when an assailant drove a car into pedestrians and stabbed a security guard near a synagogue in England where worshippers were marking Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, British police said.
Greater Manchester Police said the suspect, who was believed to be carrying a bomb, was shot dead on Thursday after they rushed to the scene at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in the Crumpsall district of the city in northern England.
A video shared on social media and verified by Reuters showed police shooting a man inside the synagogue’s perimeter, while another man lay on the floor in a pool of blood, appearing to wear a traditional Jewish head covering.
"He has a bomb, go away!" an armed police officer shouted to onlookers as he tried to wave away members of the public, just seconds before a gunshot rang out, and the suspect who was trying to get to his feet fell to the floor.
"I could see three policemen aiming guns at a bloke (man) in the car park of the synagogue next door, telling him to not move, stay down, don't move or we'll shoot," neighbour Angela Crawshaw told Reuters.
"Then they did shoot, and he fell to the floor. Then he tried getting up again and moving again, and they shot him again. And then it was just panic ... just noise and panic."
A bomb disposal unit was later called to the scene, and a Reuters witness heard three small explosions. Police confirmed that one loud bang was specialist officers gaining entry to the suspect's vehicle as a precaution.
GMP said that as well as the suspect and two members of the public who were confirmed dead, three other people were in a serious condition.

Yom Kippur is the most sacred day on the Jewish calendar when even many non-regular synagogue-goers take time to pray and all road traffic stops in Israel.Britain reported its second worst year in modern times for antisemitism in 2024 with more than 3,500 incidents being recorded, reflecting sustained levels of hatred towards Jews, the Community Security Trust, which provides security to Jewish organisations across Britain, said earlier this year.Levels of antisemitism rose to record levels in the wake of the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel and Israel's subsequent war in Gaza that has widely demolished the small Palestinian enclave.
Attacks on Jews and Jewish targets have risen worldwide since the Gaza war erupted, including in France and Germany where incidents have surged. French President Emmanuel Macron said on X that France stood beside Britain's Jewish community.Since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, Britain has suffered a number of Islamist militant attacks, with the worst being the July 2005 suicide bombings in the London transport network which killed 52 people.
More recently, a 2017 suicide bomb attack at the end of an Ariana Grande pop concert in Manchester killed 22 people and injured hundreds. British police and security services say 43 late-stage attack plots have been thwarted since March 2017.
