evil, I saw hate". Rabbi Daniel Walker said he and others held the doors of Heaton Park synagogue as Jihad Al-Shamie was "body-charging the doors, throwing heavy plant pots, doing whatever he could to get in". Praising the quick-thinking of those at the synagogue, he said: "I saw genuine heroism, I have to say, and people who ran to help others rather than running away. It was astonishing." Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, both died after the attacker drove into people and stabbed a man on Thursday.

Three others remain in hospital with serious injuries. Police have named Jihad Al-Shamie, who was shot dead at the scene, as the attacker and are treating the attack as a terror incident. Rabbi Walker said the incident happened before the Yom Kippur service was in full flow, and later there would have been hundreds of people in attendance. He said: "If one gentleman in particular hadn't acted as quickly as he did and got the doors locked, [we] can imagine what would have happened." Describing how the incident unfolded, he said a number of people held the doors shut from the inside to make sure the attacker could not get in. At some point after the police arrived, rabbi Walker said two other people inside the building were hurt. One man was killed and another person injured by police gunfire, Greater Manchester Police has said. A statement from the force named the man fatally shot by police as Mr Daulby. (BBC)
