Today marks the holiest day in the Jewish religious calendar - Yom Kippur.

Four people injured according to BBC. One could be the bastard who did it!

He got popped by the police.

Looks like they drove a car at people then stabbed someone.

What I don’t think we know just yet is if the stabbing was after or before the car incident.

yeah, I can only guess they were on alert due to it being Yom Kippur and were in the area already.

Correct

Big briefings overnight last night

Pretty much on my door step, shocking, truly shocking there’s normally of a police presence on Jewish holy days. Normally the Jewish and Muslim community tend to just get along in the area. I hope all pull through.

Government needs to ban that evil app. It's causing much of the division and hate in the world.

Or at the very least stop using it for their own comms.

Very best wishes to those directly affected and the wider Manchester Jewish community today.

Looking at some pictures these security staff just look like ordinary people with a yellow cap with the word “security” on it. One is a guy in a suit another a middle aged woman.

This is literally at the top of my street, heard the gun shots (didn't think it was that at the time), just saw the video and as I'm typing this the Helicopter is over my house circling, scary stuff.

 

[Ric]

Horrible news.

 

[The Northern Baptist]

Just one person stabbed (as per MEN), hope that’s true and they can make a full recovery. Hoping this is a personal feud or similar rather than something more evil.

There is a video circulating. The person stabbed on that video is dead.
