Manchester police probe suspected arson at kosher deli

Police in Manchester are investigating a suspected arson at a kosher restaurant and deli in a heavily Jewish area of the city.

Security camera footage shows the Glatt kosher Ta’am Restaurant in Prestwich being doused with a liquid by two unidentified men before bursting into flames on Friday night, the Manchester Evening News reports.

No one is hurt in the incident, and the attack only causes minimal damage, according to the report.

The owners say believe the attack could be motivated by their Jewish heritage, although police say they have found no evidence that is the case.
