"With regards to the ongoing investigation into last night's horrific attack at the Manchester Arena, we can confirm we have arrested a 23-year-old man in South Manchester," police said in a statement.
Later on Tuesday, Islamic State claimed responsibility for the concert bombing, saying in a statement published on its social media channels that "one of the caliphate's soldiers placed bombs among the crowds", and threatened more attacks.
