MANCHESTER, England (VINnews) — Police in northwest England said Tuesday that a man has been arrested in connection with a deadly 2025 attack at a synagogue in the Manchester area.

Counterterrorism officers, working alongside Greater Manchester Police, arrested a 49-year-old man in Salford on suspicion of failing to disclose information related to terrorist activity under Britain’s Terrorism Act 2000.

Authorities said the arrest is tied to the attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue on Oct. 2, 2025.

Two men, Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz, were killed in the attack, while three others suffered serious injuries and were hospitalized. Police said those injured have since been released.

Officials said the latest arrest brings the total number of people detained during the investigation to eight. One suspect arrested in October 2025 remains under investigation, while another individual has already been charged with separate terrorism-related offenses.

Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said investigators remain focused on determining the full circumstances surrounding the attack and urged anyone with relevant information to contact authorities.
