Liverpool dad spent weeks in coma after Manchester Arena bomb

A Liverpool man who survived the Manchester Arena attack has met the "hero" he said saved his life.

Paul Price, 54, from Liverpool, lost his partner and suffered life-changing injuries himself in the blast in May 2017. Paul, who spent two weeks in a coma and eight months in hospital following the attack, said that his children would not have a father if it were not for the help of Paul Reid, a t-shirt seller, that evening.

Paul Reid, 48, one of the first on the scene after suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated his device, stayed with Paul and kept him conscious until an ambulance arrived, reports the Mirror. In a new ITV documentary about the terror attack, Paul described how he had been waiting for his daughter Gabrielle, then 13, at the concert venue that night alongside his partner Elaine McIver.
