Taxi driver 'knew something was wrong' after question to Liverpool hospital bomber

David Perry, the taxi driver caught up in the Liverpool Women's Hospital terror attack, joined Good Morning Britain to discuss the event one year on.

On Remembrance Sunday, 2021, David picked up Emad Al-Swealmeen from his flat on Rutland Avenue, near Sefton Park, to take him to the hospital. Moments later, as he pulled up at the hospital entrance, Al-Swealmeen inexplicably triggered his homemade explosive that contained 1,000 ball bearings.

David was pulled out of the car with injuries including a fractured back, shrapnel wounds and multiple burns. Discussing the event with Ranvir Singh and Ben Shephard, he admitted he can barely remember the journey to the hospital.
