Guard hurt in synagogue attack leaves hospital

A crowd gathered outside Heaton Park synagogue for an event a week after the 2 October attack

A security guard who was the last person being treated for injuries caused in the Manchester synagogue attack has been discharged from hospital.

Bernard Agyemang was working when a car was driven into him by Jihad Al-Shamie on 2 October in the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall.

The attacker proceeded to fatally stab worshipper Melvin Cravitz, 66, and wound volunteer security guard Andrew Franks, who was released from hospital earlier this month.

Al-Shamie was killed by police after he tried to batter his way into the synagogue where worshippers had gathered to mark Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish religious calendar.

Inside the synagogue, Adrian Daulby, 53, was killed by a police bullet as they opened fire on Al-Shamie, while Yoni Finlay was also injured by the gunfire as both helped barricade the doors against the attacker.

Mr Agyemang was seen using a wheelchair when he and the other survivors met the King, who visited the synagogue last week.

Inquests into the deaths of Mr Cravitz and Mr Daulby were opened and adjourned at Manchester Coroner's Court by the chief coroner for England and Wales on Thursday.

An inquest into the death of Al-Shamie will be opened separately on Friday.
