Fresh panic struck the City of Manchester following the evacuation of the Arndale Shopping Centre this morning.
The shopping centre has been given the all clear and is now reopened, the public are asked not to panic but be vigilant.
Witnesses reported people running through nearby streets and shouting "run", whilst reports emerged of smashed glass in the iconic shopping centre with hundreds of people seen fleeing the scene.
The lockdown came on the same day as the deadly explosion after the Ariana Grande concert.
It also comes 21 years after the heart of Manchester’s shopping district was razed to the ground by a blast in June 1996 when the Provisional IRA planted 3,300 lbs of homemade explosives in a lorry.
Meanwhile a Man, 23, was allegedly arrested in south Manchester over Arena terror attack.
