As shown in video circulated on social media, the driver reversed and then accelerated the car forward repeatedly, sending the wooden front doors imploding inward."

It appears intentional. The synagogue has been evacuated as a precaution. Please stay away from the area while authorities ensure there are no additional threats. Driver was arrested,""
