A security guard who helped the taxi driver involved in the explosion outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital has said he called out for his wife moments after the attack.

Darren Knowles said he was pumping up the tyres on his car when David Perry’s taxi stopped outside the hospital shortly before 11am on Sunday and exploded moments later.
