At least four people were injured in England early on Oct. 2 after police said a man reportedly drove a vehicle at pedestrians outside a Jewish synagogue and at least one person was stabbed.
The attack happened at about 9:30 a.m. local time, authorities said. A person believed to be the suspect was shot by police when they responded to the incident at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, north Manchester, according to the Greater Manchester Police.
The incident outside the synagogue comes as Jewish people observe the holiday of Yom Kippur, which began the evening of Oct. 1 and ends the evening of Oct. 2.
Manchester police said they received a report from a witness who saw "a car being driven towards members of the public, & 1 man had been stabbed." Four people were being treated for injuries from both the vehicle and stabbing, police said.

Andy Burnham, the mayor of Manchester, told the BBC that the immediate danger to the public appears to be over "and Greater Manchester Police have dealt with it very quickly."
