MANCHESTER: Youthful fans who were at US pop star Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester and parents waiting for their children outside described scenes of panic after an explosion ripped through the foyer on Monday night.

“I just heard this massive bang and then everyone just started running towards us screaming and crying. Everyone just trampled over us just to get out,” Jessica, a concert-goer, told BBC radio.
