Manchester Arena inquiry: Police deny stopping doctor in aftermath

(BBC) Two armed police officers have denied stopping a doctor from going into the Manchester Arena bomb scene.

PC Troy Tyldesley and PC James Dalton were guarding one of the entrances to the arena foyer in the immediate aftermath of the 2017 attack.

Dr Michael Daley has previously told the public inquiry officers stopped him because the area was not safe.

He said he could not remember the encounter with Dr Daley, but did not believe he stopped anyone.
