The suspected attacker died when a homemade bomb exploded in a taxi outside the hospital, while the injured driver - named locally as David Perry - escaped before the car caught fire. The passenger is not believed to have been known to MI5, according to BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera. The UK terror threat level has been raised to severe. Home Secretary Priti Patel said it had been raised from substantial to severe, meaning an attack is highly likely, because the explosion in Liverpool was the second incident in a month. Four men have been arrested in the city under the Terrorism Act. Head of Counter Terrorism Policing North West, Russ Jackson, said the taxi passenger appeared to have made an "improvised explosive device" which caused the blast just before 11:00 GMT. He said police knew the identity of the attacker but would not confirm it at this stage. The man's motivation was "yet to be understood", Assistant Chief Constable Jackson added. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who chaired an emergency Cobra meeting earlier in response to the explosion, described it as a "sickening attack". He said it was a "stark reminder for all of us to remain vigilant", but added "the British people will never be cowed by terrorism". Mr Jackson said he understood the Delta Taxis driver picked up a passenger in Rutland Avenue, near Sefton Park, on Sunday. "The fare - a man - had asked to be taken to Liverpool Women's Hospital, which was about 10 minutes away," he added. "As the taxi approached the drop-off point at the hospital an explosion occurred from within the car. This quickly engulfed it in flames. "Remarkably the taxi driver escaped from the cab." Mr Jackson said the taxi driver had been released from hospital after being treated for his injuries. He said police were "aware there were Remembrance events just a short distance away from the hospital and that the ignition occurred shortly before 11am". "We cannot at this time draw any connection with this but it is a line of inquiry we are pursuing," he added. more at link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-59291095 --- https://imgur.com/mApEnf3 <cite>g0ldie posted [p:960020797] in Liverpool ...

Yeah, I read that as well. Major props to the dude if true, risked his life and lucky to get away with (seemingly) minor injuries if already been released. I'm Milwall, and this.
