We believe a device that was strapped
to the body of the suspect
is a hoax explosive device
I'm now in a position to confirm that
it has been declared a terrorist incident.
One you see everybody rushing and scattering,
you're really fearing for your own safety.
And I think the major thing was just to
get out of the way and get down
and then you just feel very scared,
very anxious about what's happening.
[police sirens]
So that was it.
So apart from momentarily looking up and
seeing what that flash might have been
it's difficult, you feel as though
you're in a bubble, really.
You don't know what's going on because
you're in the middle of it.
[police sirens]
Anybody involved in this crime in
these attacks will be hunted down
and will be brought to justice.
I want to thank our brave emergency services
who responded to today's horrific attack.
Every day they put their lives on
the line for us, running towards danger
in order to keep us safe.
I would also like to thank members of the
public who risked their own safety
this afternoon.
They are the best of us
