A second suspect has been arrested after a man armed with an axe was spotted during Ramadan prayers at a mosque in Manchester.
Police were called to Manchester Central Mosque at around 8:40pm on Tuesday evening following reports of a white man in a high-viz jacket carrying a bag with an axe inside. The force said the man purported to be doing work on the building, but was reported to the police by staff who had no knowledge of any works.
