Oh, that makes sense. I misread that it was after the fact, and the taxi was nearby when it occurred.
Yeah, not confirmed yet but story is going around that one of the terrorists took a cab to the hospital, when the cab driver noticed the bomb as they arrived at the hospital he locked the terrorist in the car.
Yeah it's pretty obviously from Wales when it has the Welsh for Police on the car!

I hope the taxi driver recovers from his injuries. What a fucking badass
Imagining him just running away from his Taxi, as it explodes, just seems like a movie. My God. Thank God.
So commercial taxis allow the driver to lock passengers in the back with no way for them to open it from the inside? I guess you want to avoid them leaving without paying, but seems a bit extreme. Pretty good thing to have in this particular case, of course.
Oh, that's good to hear, totally missed that. Hope he recovers!
Kudos to the taxi driver. When I started reading this I thought he sacrificed his own life and locked himself in the taxi with the terrorist. As incredible as that would have been, getting out of the car makes him a real life Jack Bauer.
The terrifying backdrop to this is that a maternity ward was the target. There are no words for that.

we don't know the target though - could well have been the remembrance service as mentioned which was close by.
can't imagine someone targeting newborns..
It's a bit unclear at the moment but given the timing it's likely that the remembrance parade/service, which was less than a mile away, was the target. They wouldn't have been able to get any closer due to road closures for the parade.
Blast goes off before he even has time to stop, while the driver gets out after when the guy in the high vis approaches. So it may not be even so much that they trapped the bomber inside, but that the doors hadn't disengaged before the bomb was triggered
I'm interested to see how the pieces of this come together once it is investigated.
What a bizarre, horrible act. Sounds like the innocent taxi driver deserves to be hailed as a hero.

24hrs and no names or motives and I can't help but feel the press are very muted on this compared to other attempted attacks.
Something's up.

What? None of that is unusual. Please spare us going down the conspiracy rabbit hole.
Incredible that the driver survived, especially as we see the blast easily breaking the front windows. I guess the back seat must have saved him, though I imagine the air pressure from the blast alone must have caused serious injuries to things like ears.
Hail to the taxi driver if he caused the dude to blow himself up.
You are mistaking good reporting - holding back all non confirmed details - with conspiracy theories. Internet detectiving is usually a good way to get someone innocent lynched.
It looks like the driver got away from the car under his own steam, but then the person in the high-vis jacket either picks him up or catches him under the arms, because they look like they're hugging him and dragging him further away once they get to the left of the statue.
It appears as if the driver collapsed, and the man in the jacket is picking him up. Given the disorientation and his likely injuries from having been near the blast it's incredible he was able to get that far on his own.
Such that until the footage came out, it made the blast look way worse. As if it had directly left the car a smouldering wreck, rather than it being that the car caught fire from the damage
They? surely he only means the terrorist and isn't meaning an entire group? /s Thats probably going to be his defence, when we all know hes a racist POS
Hes a former Boxer and obviously a racist and assuming that the terrorists are Islamist and vaguely insinuating they shouldn't be here. which from an oxygen thief is rich
incredible footage
does these type of taxi have reinforced plexi separater?
your assumption
as a biracial man bellew has talked about the pain and suffering him and is mom received from racism in past
what has he said previsouly to make him obviously racist?

To be fair, most child locks are mechanical (you have to activate them ahead of time, using a screwdriver or by flipping a physical lever on the rear doors) rather than electronic, but some of them can be activated from the driver's seat in both commercial and regular passenger cars.
The police have said the hospital was the requested destination.
Has there ever been a case when a terrorist attack happened, they raise the attack level and there was any follow ups?
