A serious incident involving multiple stabbings occurred in Crumpsall, UK, on Thursday. Following reports from the public, Greater Manchester Police responded to the scene. Reports indicate a vehicle was driven at people before a stabbing took place. Authorities confirmed that four individuals were injured, and the suspect was shot by police. The timing of the attack coincided with Yom Kippur, the holiest day for Jewish people.
Prime Minister Starmer quickly condemned the attack, expressing his outrage at the events at the Manchester Synagogue. He will be returning to the UK from a European leaders’ summit in Copenhagen to address the situation and chair an emergency COBRA meeting. Emergency services responded at 9:31 am (0831) to treat those wounded by the vehicle and stab wounds. Police declared ‘Plato,’ a national code word utilized in response to a marauding terror attack, though it doesn’t define this incident as a terrorist act.
