Man who ran to help after Women's Hospital terror attack 'will never forget' scene of horror

A man who ran to help after witnessing the Liverpool Women's terrorist attack said he "thinks about it daily".

Liam Spencer was with his girlfriend Stephanie Stitt when he was unwittingly caught up in the terror attack at Liverpool Women's Hospital. Emad Al Swealmeen detonated a bomb outside the hospital after pulling up as a passenger in a Delta taxi on Remembrance Sunday last year.

Al Swealmeen died when his homemade explosive containing 1,000 ball bearings went off in the back of the car, shattering the windscreen. The taxi driver, David Perry, made a miraculous escape from the vehicle just as the bomb detonated on November 14, 2021. The incident saw the UK's terror threat raised to "severe" - while the hospital found itself in the global spotlight for the next 10 days.
