Homeless men are being hailed as heroes for helping wounded during the Manchester Arena terror attack.
Chris Parker, 33, was outside of the stadium when the bomb went off, leaving 22 people dead and 59 injured.
He said that people were exiting the show normally when he heard a loud bang. “I saw a white flash, then smoke and then I heard screaming,” he recalled.
“It knocked me to the floor and then I got up and instead of running away my gut instinct was to run back and try and help.”
“I saw a little girl … she had no legs,” he said. “I wrapped her in one of the merchandise T-shirts and I said, ‘Where is your mum and daddy?’ She said, ‘My dad is at work, my mum is up there’.”
“I haven’t stopped crying,” Parker told The Sun.
“The most shocking part of it is that it was a kids’ concert.”
Another homeless man, Stephen Jones, was sleeping near the arena when he heard the bomb go off.
The 35-year-old told ITV News, “It’s just instinct to go and help if someone needs your help and it was children.”
“It was a lot of children with blood all over them – crying and screaming,” he said.
“We were having to pull nails out of their arms and a couple out of this little girl’s face.”
Others in the area offered spare rooms to those in need using the hashtag #RoomForManchester, with supermarkets and cafes donating food and taxi drivers dropping people home for free.
