From the Guardian, is this report. (I removed the bolding for readability.)
There is much more at the link.
This is obviously a developing story right now.
One should also note Yom Kippur runs from sunset on 1 October 2025 to nightfall on 2 October 2025 and is considered the holiest day of the year.

That is shocking! I looked up that part of the city and it seems like the people and place are usually nice overall.
Latest report I saw on CNN said the police confronted the attacker and told him to surrender, he refused, and they shot him dead.
Still too early to say anything with assurance other than it’s a damned good thing the assailant didn’t have a gun.
Armed police shot him 7 minutes after first 999 (our 911) call - not bad response from a generally unarmed police service.

It appears that police thought the perp may have been wearing a
suicide vest. It has been confirmed that it was “not viable”.
