A radio operator felt "overwhelmed" and "sick" when he was given a key control room role after the Manchester Arena bombing for which he had no experience or training, an inquiry heard.
Twenty-two people were killed when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at about 22:30 BST on 22 May 2017.Mr Myerscough told the public inquiry into the attack that he was left answering a constant stream of important phone calls from senior commanders, firearms officers and other emergency services, while the Force Duty Officer was busy commanding the immediate response.
Mr Myerscough, who had been a radio operator since 2014, told the hearing he took on the job of answering the FDO's line about 25 minutes after the explosion, when the senior officer asked for his help.He accepted that for the majority of calls he took on the night, he did not know the answer to the questions and did not have the authority to resolve the issues being raised.
