At least two victims have died and three others are in a serious condition after a car and knife attack outside a synagogue in Manchester in the United Kingdom, authorities said.

The attack came on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar which ends later today.

Greater Manchester Police said officers were called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday after a vehicle was driven into pedestrians and at least one person was stabbed. Armed police declared a major incident and opened fire minutes later, killing the suspect.

Police said the suspect had suspicious items on him and the bomb disposal unit was called to the scene.
