Inquiry hears from Sgt Kam Hare who, leading police Tactical Aid Unit, assessed casualties in foyer
A shortage of paramedics in the immediate aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing meant police officers were assessing casualties by how injured they appeared, the inquiry heard on Friday.
Sgt Kam Hare, who led the Tactical Aid Unit of Greater Manchester police, went to the City Room, or foyer, of the arena after Salman Abedi detonated a device that killed 22 people and injured hundreds more on 22 May 2017. His team attempted to triage the injured but only had access to a first aid box containing “a few bandages and plasters”.
