A 23-year-old has been arrested in connection with the terror attack that struck Manchester Arena late Monday night, the Greater Manchester Police have confirmed. The BBC reports that the man was arrested in Chorlton near Morrisons store by armed police.
The arrest comes barely 12 hours after 22 people, including the perpetrator, were killed in a suicide attack towards the end of American pop singer Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester. At least 59 people were injured in the attack. Security personnel have said the threat level in the United Kingdom continues to be ‘severe’ which means another attack could take place soon. The police are still investigating whether the suicide bomber acted alone or whether there were others linked to the attack.
The police have confirmed that another arrest at the Arndale Centre has nothing to do with Monday night’s terror attack. More details are awaited.
