The cabbie who survived the Liverpool Women's Hospital explosion realised it was a bomb when he spotted a Red Light on his vest, a Security Guard said.

Security Guard Darren Knowles ran to help David Perry , who escaped his taxi seconds before it burst into flames near the maternity unit on 14 November.

Emad Al Swealmeen died when a homemade device exploded shortly before the two minutes' Remembrance Sunday Silence .

Mr Knowles said Mr Perry had " acted very quickly and very bravely".

Iraq-born asylum seeker Al Swealmeen was a passenger in the taxi.

Police have previously said The Bomb had ball bearings attached to it,

Mr Perry was taken to hospital but has since been discharged.

Mr Knowles was standing only metres away from the taxi when The Bomb exploded.

He told he did not realise it was a bomb initially because " there wasn't a very loud bang" and just saw black smoke.

" I just thought it was a malfunction with The Car and just ran over and see if he was all right, " Mr Knowles, from Runcorn in Cheshire, added.

" [Mr Perry] said: 'Been blown up, been blown up. There's a bomb in my car'.

" [The Taxi Driver ] seen a Little Red light on the vest The Passenger was wearing, that gave it away for him to Do Something and he acted very quickly and very bravely. "

Mr Knowles said he stopped Mr Perry from going Back To his vehicle, which was now engulfed In Flames , and " gave him a big hug".

The Security Guard said he was still " very shocked" The Explosion happened at The Hospital , not least because two of his children had been born there.

" You don't expect that to happen at a kids' hospital where there are new-born babies.

" There's no need for that. "

Mr Knowles said he was trying to " keep himself busy" and " not to dwell on it too much".

" I'm still having the odd flashbacks but I'm coping, " he added.

" I'm just glad the Taxi Driver 's OK. "

and has given " special thanks" to staff at Liverpool Women's Hospital.

Merseyside Police said investigators have now closed The Cordon at The Hospital after a " painstaking examination".

The Force has also opened a mobile Police Station at The Hospital to " reassure staff and the public".
