'It’s scary to just think about how things could have been different to be honest'
Witnesses to the Liverpool bomb attack have described the moments after the blast and their attempts to rescue the suspect and taxi driver.
Liam, 21, and his partner, Steph Stitt, 20, were parked in a car just metres from the taxi when the bomb, which police believe to have been built by Al Swealmeen, was set off. ‘I ran out and saw the car had exploded. My first thought was just to grab my girlfriend and get her close to the building or inside so she’s out of the way.’‘Then I got closer to the car, I could smell the smoke and I could see the man in the back.
‘I was trying to say to him, “Is he still in there”, and he was saying, “He has tried to blow me up”.’Mr Knowles added: ‘Everyone is calling me a hero but I was just doing my job.
