Chaos on Market Street. Arndale Centre is evacuated. Genuinely terrified


Everyone's just come running from the direction Arndale centre. I don't know what's happened.

There are reports of glass being broken and people running and screaming as police stepped in to secure the area.

UPDATE: The Arndale Centre has now reopened. Police have removed the cordon and workers have been allowed back onto the site.
