Man Arrested in Connection with Heaton Park Synagogue Terror Attack
Police say the suspect is being questioned over an alleged failure to disclose information about terrorist activity after the synagogue attack killed two people.
On Tuesday evening, Counter Terrorism Policing North West arrested a 49-year-old man in Salford on suspicion of failing to disclose information regarding terrorist activity under Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000, bringing total arrests to eight.
The arrest relates directly to the October 2, 2025 terrorist attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, where Jihad Al-Shamie, a 35-year-old Syrian-born British citizen, killed worshippers Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz.
Three men sustained serious injuries in the October attack and have since been discharged from hospital; a 30-year-old man was previously arrested on October 9, 2025, on similar charges of failing to disclose information.
Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said families of Daulby and Cravitz have been updated on the arrest; the suspect remains in custody undergoing police questioning.
Police continue appealing for public information as the investigation proceeds, while a separate individual has been charged with terrorism offences unrelated to the synagogue attack.
