Jewish security teams and armed police have been called in to protect synagogues across the UK after four people were stabbed outside a synagogue in Manchester.
At least two people have died after a knifeman 'armed with a bomb' rammed a car into the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue at 9.31am today and went on a rampage.
The bloody assault, which took place on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, has been declared a 'Plato' incident - the national code-word used by police and emergency services when responding to a 'marauding terror attack'.
It has rocked Britain's Jewish community, leaving people in shock and fearing for their safety.
One Jewish man, who was at the scene of today's onslaught, said: 'It is the holiest day of the year and we get this... There is no place for Jews in Britain anymore. It's over.'
