A homeless man, Stephen Jones, was sleeping when he heard the blast that killed 22 people and injured 59 others at Manchester Arena on Monday night.
The 35-year-old man said he pulled nails from the faces of injured children before paramedics arrived to treat victims of the Manchester terror attack.
After rushing to help, he said he found “a lot of children with blood all over them and crying and screaming” as hundreds fled the area in horror.
“They needed the help, I’d like to think that someone would come and help me if I needed the help,” he told ITV news. “It’s just instinct.”
He described how he and a friend pulled nails from a small child’s face after she was injured in the horrifying scenes after an Adriana Grande concert.
He added: “Some lady, she got cut from her side, so my mate had to hold her legs up... we just held her legs up because we thought she was just going to bleed right out.
"If I didn't help, I wouldn't be able to live with myself for walking away and leaving kids like that. Just because I'm homeless it doesn't mean that I haven't got a heart and I'm not human still.”
