“THIS IS A SUSPECTED TERROR ATTACK” | Man Stabbed Outside Synagogue | Police Declare Plato

Four people have been injured after a car was driven at members of the public and a man was stabbed outside a synagogue.

Greater Manchester Police said it was called to an incident in Middleton Road, Crumpsall, on Thursday where a man – who is believed to be the offender – was shot by firearms officers.

Police said it had “declared Plato” – the national code-word used by police and emergency services when responding to a “marauding terror attack”.

Footage shared on social media appeared to show members of the public shouting to firearms officers that the suspect had a bomb strapped to him.

A white lorry marked “bomb disposal” later arrived at the scene, and went behind the cordon outside the synagogue.
