A suspected suicide blast during an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester left witnesses stunned Monday night.

"People started screaming and going to the other side of the arena," he added.

"It was chaotic," attendee Catherine Macfarlane said. "Everybody was running and screaming and just trying to get out."
