Man arrested in connection with Synagogue attack in October 2025

A man has been arrested on suspicion of failing to disclose information regarding the terrorist attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in October 2025.

The 49-year-old man has been taken into custody for questioning.

This brings the total number of people arrested in connection with the investigation to eight. This includes a 30-year-old man arrested on 9 October 2025 on suspicion of failing to disclose information regarding terrorist activity, who remains under investigation. It also includes a man who has since been charged with terrorism offences that are not directly linked to the attack.

Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts, who holds operational responsibility for Counter Terrorism Policing North West, said: “This evening (26 May 2026) we have arrested a 49-year-old man in the Salford area on suspicion of failing to disclose information regarding terrorist activity, contrary to S38B of the Terrorism Act 2000.

“The suspected offence relates directly to the terrorist attack that took place at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in October. The loved ones of Mr Daulby and Mr Cravitz, as well as those seriously injured in the attack, have been updated on this latest development.

“We remain unwavering in our commitment to establishing the full picture behind the attack and getting answers for those affected, including the local community. We are prepared to take swift, firm action where we suspect criminal offences may have occurred.

“Our investigation is continuing, and I would once again urge anybody who may have information that could assist us to please contact police.”
