We held synagogue doors as attacker tried to batter his way in, says rabbi
The rabbi who was leading prayers when his synagogue was attacked in Manchester has told the BBC how he and others held the doors as a man tried to batter his way inside.
Rabbi Daniel Walker said as the attack began he ran into the foyer to see that the doors had been locked by the security team.
He described how he saw a very injured man in the foyer and "someone was trying to batter his way through into the synagogue".
The attacker Jihad Al-Shamie was "body charging the doors, throwing heavy plant pots, doing whatever he could to get in," he added.
"If one gentleman in particular hadn't acted as quickly as he did and got the doors locked, [we] can imagine what would have happened."
