There was panic as a largely teen audience fled the 21,000-capacity venue after what witnesses described as a "huge bomb-like bang" in the foyer area.
One video shows people at the Victoria Station under the Manchester Arena scrambling and running after the blast, many of them screaming.A second video showed a top view of the stadium, where thousands could be seen moving in all directions, terrified and screaming.
A clip posted by another concert-goer showed people crowding at one of the exits, trying to rush out. A large group was seen holding pink balloons from the concert that ended just moments ago.
