Manchester Arena inquiry: Paramedic ‘wrong not to send team to bomb scene’

(BBC) A senior paramedic has told an inquiry he was wrong not to send three colleagues straight to the scene of the Manchester Arena bombing.

Simon Beswick arrived at the arena 40 minutes after the blast, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds more.

The inquiry has heard how only three paramedics treated casualties in the City Room, where the bomb exploded.

Three additional paramedics were held back to treat patients on the Victoria Station concourse outside the arena.

Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
