Manchester synagogue survivor describes moment ‘monster’ attacked

A man who helped barricade a synagogue in northern Manchester has described how an attack, which killed two British Jews, unfolded.

On Thursday morning, Alan Levy was inside the Heaton Park synagogue when Jihad Al-Shamie rammed a car into and stabbed worshippers gathering for a service to mark Yom Kippur.

Mr Levy said the “monster” attacker tried to bash down the doors of the synagogue and he recalled locking the building down with other congregation members.

Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed in the attack on Thursday, while three others were injured trying to protect worshippers.
