Prime Minister Keir Starmer has expressed concern after the arrest of a man for entering a mosque in Manchester during Ramadan prayers carrying multiple weapons, including an axe and threatening to kill the Imam.
The prime minister said he understood the incident would be worrying for Muslim communities. The suspect, a white man in his 40s, was with another man, a black male, who entered Manchester Central Mosque in the Victoria Park area of south Manchester at around 8:40pm on Tuesday.
