A police officer on duty in the control room on the day of the Southport attack has told the public inquiry he found it “difficult to understand” how one person could have inflicted so many injuries.
Chief Inspector Andrew Hughes was one of two force incident managers in the Merseyside Police control room on July 29 last year when 999 calls began to come in reporting a “boy with a knife” and numerous casualties at the Hart Space from just after 11.45am.
