St Enoch explosion victims left 'screaming in pain' with skin and hair burns

A woman who rushed to the aid of two casualties after an explosion at the St Enoch Square Christmas market has described how the victims were left 'screaming in pain' and with their jackets burnt to a crisp after the horror incident.

The Chinese Noodle stall at St Enoch Square caught fire on Monday morning, with emergency services rushing to reports of a gas canister explosion. The two injured women were working in a nearby kiosk when the incident happened and were taken to hospital for treatment.

Lyndsey Meppem, who had organised a separate indoor St Enoch Christmas event, raced to help the pair when she heard the bang outside along with two colleagues after grabbing water from nearby Tesco and Nando's and throwing it on the casualties until medics took over.
