Police in Manchester, UK, declared a major incident after a vehicle was driven toward a crowd and a man was stabbed near a synagogue on Yom Kippur. At least four people were injured by both the vehicle and stab wounds. The alleged offender was shot by police. Authorities are treating the incident as a potential terrorist attack. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the 'horrific' event, especially given the timing on the holiest day in Judaism, and is returning to the UK to chair a COBRA meeting.
