Witness statement from the scene<\/p>\n
Daniel Jones, 28, was on Water Street celebrating when the van plowed through the crowd only a few feet away from him and his mates.<\/p>\n
He told The Sun: \u201cLuckily my wife had just gone up to the hotel with my three-year-old son.<\/p>\n
\u201cI dread to think what would have happened if they hadn\u2019t done that. I was horrified. I was scared.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were paramedics on their hands and knees treating wounded people. It was a horrifying scene.<\/p>\n
He added that as soon as the car stopped, those who were not hit crowded the vehicle.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cA lot of people were evidently really angry. They were smashing [the car] up. Police were trying to restrain them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe back of the window was completely smashed. Everyone was just jumping onto that car, trying to jump on that car because officers were trying to restrain them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were ripping the register plate off. The back window was broken when the [driver] was still in it.\u201d<\/p>\n
