A Facebook post containing a graphic description of the blast is being widely shared on social media.
The Mirror has not been able to verify it at this time, but it comes from a profile which appears genuine.
A young woman called Abby Mullen has shared pictures of what looks to be blood in her hair and on her bag.
She writes: “Just out of The Ariana Grande Concert in Manchester,I thought we would leave seconds before the last song finished in order too get home quicker instead of waiting longer for a taxi,As we where leaving a bomb or explosion went off centimetres in front of me.
“Peoples skin/blood&Feces where everywhere including in my hair & on my bag,I’m still finding bits of god knows what in my hair.I am fine & back in my hotel I hope everyone involved and in front of me is okay.We are being told it was a balloon/sound system but I can assure you it was not,You never ever expect these things too happen too you but this proves it can happen too anybody.
“That sound,The blood & those who where running around clueless with body parts & bits of skin missing will not be leaving my mind any time soon or the minds of those involved.
“Again,Hope everyone is alright I am very,Very lucky too be where I am just now x”
