Funeral tribute to Manchester synagogue attack's 'quiet hero'
Adrian Daulby’s heroic action blocking the attacker saved many worshippers during a terrorist assault that killed two men and injured three others, police said.
- On Thursday morning at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, two worshippers, Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed during the Yom Kippur attack.
- Police say the assailant drove a car at worshippers, attacked with a knife and tried to storm the synagogue wearing a fake suicide belt; Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, was on bail for alleged rape and was shot dead by police.
- In the chaos, Adrian Daulby ran to the door and held it closed against the attacker, and he is believed to have been inadvertently shot dead by armed police.
- Three men remain in hospital with serious injuries, including a security guard hit by the car and a Community Security Trust worker with stab wounds, and family gathered at Agecroft Jewish Cemetery.
- Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the attack raises deep questions about community relations, and officials described it as an antisemitic terrorist atrocity leaving the Jewish community in Manchester reeling.
