Police believe a male suicide bomber was responsible for an explosion at Manchester Arena on Monday evening.

At least 22 people, including children, have been killed and 59 others wounded in a suspected terrorist attack at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena. 

The attacker was carrying a device which he detonated, says Ian Hopkins, chief constable of Greater Manchester Police. 

"We have been treating this as a terrorist incident and we believe that while the attack last night was conducted by one man, the priority is to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network.

"The attacker, I can confirm, died at the arena. We believe the attacker was carrying an improvised explosive device, which he detonated, causing this atrocity."

A chilling video posted to Twitter shows the exact moment the bomb went off - after some loud bangs a woman in the background is heard saying "Oh my god, what just happened? What the f*** is going on?" as screams start to echo from the arena. The attack happened as people were leaving the concert.
