Two loud explosions were reported this evening at Manchester Arena by people attending a pop concert by Ariana Grande in an event that Greater Manchester Police is now describing as ‘serious’. Members of the public have been advised to avoid the arena. People reportedly fled the stadium after hearing “two loud explosions”.
One Twitter user wrote: “Honestly worst night of my existence. Just kept running from Manchester Arena for my life.”
Another added: “Just got out of Manchester arena after seeing Ariana perform. There was a loud bang when the lights came on & everyone ran out screaming.”
