Shocking video from Thursday’s deadly terror attack at a UK synagogue shows a cop frantically yelling at horrified onlookers to “go away” because the deranged suspect “has a bomb.”
Two people were killed after a madman rammed his car into a crowd outside the Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester before stabbing multiple worshippers who were marking Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism.
In one video from the terrifying incident, a police officer is seen saying, “Everybody else, if you’re not involved, move back. Get away, somebody stay with the casualties. Everybody else, he has a bomb, go away.”
The suspect in the Manchester attack was killed by police at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester, on October 2, 2025.
A bystander then says, “He’s got a bomb on him. He’s going to blow himself up, he’s trying to press the button,” according to a graphic video shared on social media.
Images later showed the suspected attacker — a bald-headed man with a beard and dark clothing — with white objects seemingly strapped around his waist close to the synagogue’s perimeter fence, BBC News reported.
A controlled explosion was later heard after the bomb disposal unit was deployed to the scene of the attack.
The unidentified attacker was shot dead by police who arrived minutes after the horror unfolded at the synagogue just after 9:30 a.m.

The attack took place just after morning prayers had started at the synagogue in Crumpsall, a multiethnic area in the north of Manchester.
One eyewitness, a delivery driver named Gareth, said he was driving past the synagogue when the attack unfolded.
Held in traffic, he assumed there had been a “normal collision” until he got closer and saw a man “bleeding out on the floor,” he told BBC Radio Manchester.
