(BBC) A woman has told the Manchester Arena inquiry that she used her handbag strap to stem the bleeding from her leg as she waited for help after the bombing.
Josie Howarth was waiting with her sister Janet Senior in the arena foyer when the bomb exploded on 22 May 2017.
She said she had laid injured, thinking “where are the paramedics?”
The inquiry also heard from retired counter-terrorism officer Andrea Bradbury, who said the blast felt like “being strimmed” with a garden tool.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more were injured when Salman Abedi detonated an explosive in the City Room foyer as crowds left an Ariana Grande concert.
