Manchester Arena inquiry: Sergeant’s frustration over lack of medics

(BBC) A sergeant who tended to the injured in the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing has told of his desperation and frustration at the lack of paramedics.

Greater Manchester Police Sgt Kam Hare was in charge of a team of officers who entered the City Room 25 minutes after the attack, which killed 22 people.

An inquiry has heard how only three paramedics treated casualties in the foyer where the bomb exploded.

Sgt Hare said there were injured people “who didn’t have anyone with them.”

“I wouldn’t say there were lots of people there, but the people who were there, everyone was doing something,” he told the public inquiry into the attack.
