Teen girl talks about the moment when she suffered horrific shrapnel injuries in Manchester terrorist attack

A teenage girl has recalled the moment she suffered horrific shrapnel injuries in the Manchester terror attack.

Lucy Jarvis, 17, thought she “was on fire” after her body was hit by more than a dozen pieces of shrapnel as she left the Ariana Grande concert in May.

The brave teenager was rushed to Salford Royal Hospital, where surgeons spent 14 hours battling to save her.

Recalling the horrifying evening, which killed 22 and injured 59, she said: “I don’t remember hearing a bang or anything – just feeling really really hot.

“And then I dropped to the floor. To be honest I thought I was on fire.

“I didn’t know what had gone on.

“I just looked down to my legs and I saw quite a lot of blood.”

Dad David Jarvis described the heart-wrenching moment he eventually tracked his daughter down to a hospital in the city.

He said: “I don’t know how long we’d been there, 15, 20 minutes, it was just getting more and more frightening.

“If it could be any more frightening than it already was.

“I then I remember a nurse coming in and saying you’ve got to come with me now, we marched down this corridor not knowing what to expect.”

Lucy underwent several operations and was finally able to leave hospital seven weeks later.
