Video footage showed people fleeing in tears from the venue after reports of bangs immediately after the concert finished.

Bloodied concertgoers were pictured being helped by emergency services outside the gig and armed police were seen patrolling the arena.

Evie Brewster, who attended the concert, told MailOnline: 'Ariana Grange had just finished her last song and left the stage when a huge explosion sounded.

'Suddenly everybody started screaming and running for the exit.

"Witness Sasina Akhta told the Manchester Evening News: “She did her last song, we were in the lower tier and there was an explosion behind us at the back of the arena. We saw young girls with blood on them, everyone was screaming and people were running. There was lots of smoke.”"

The fans panicked and there were many injuries as people were knocked down and trampled.

That's probably how 100% of the fatalities occured

I just mentioned to someone else, that phone video that panned the arena show no evidence of tell-tale smoke.

True, and that phone video showed no accumulate smoke, what you’d expect to see if a bomb had gone off.

Now a woman is on SkyNews and she reports smoke in a hallway outside the main arena. (I’m trying to report it as she reported on air, but her comments were a bit dicey.

You’re probably right.

It’s a shame the night had to end like this.

Sky News now reporting an explosion within the entrance area.

People in the area outside, said they heard what they considered an explosion.

I'm seeing pictures of people with blood sprayed across their bodies.

But we have tens if not hundreds or thousands of people here pulling in new reports.

That is very helpful.

We could get bad reports from the television too, so you have to consider that as well.

That’s why early on I try to mention possibilities. That way folks can consider them, and then not be sucked in to believe it all is hard fact.
