(BBC) A security supervisor saw a suspicious man carrying a “bulging rucksack” four days before a suicide bombing, the Manchester Arena inquiry has heard.
Ex-police officer Jonathan Lavery said he thought the man may have been carrying out “hostile reconnaissance.”
He was seen filming people in the arena’s City Room before a Take That concert on 18 May 2017.
The man “stood out like a sore thumb” as he “did not fit the demographic” of a Take That fan, the inquiry was told.
Twenty-two people were killed and many more injured when Salman Abedi detonated an explosive as fans left the Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
