Others were startled by their abrupt awakening and were confronted by a large number of ambulances and scientific support vehicles. Many stood outside and conversed with one another as they attempted to piece together the events of the previous night, while others were alarmed by their rude awakening and the sight of a large number of ambulances and scientific support vehicles.
Jennifer, a hotel visitor from York, told the Liverpool Echo, “I arrived last night and woke up this morning to see police and paramedics here for who knows how long.”
“The police have come knocking on everyone’s door, demanding to know what we have seen.”
“We have awakened, and we have no idea what is happening; it might be anything.”
It is horrifying to think that this could have happened while I was asleep and that the perpetrator may have entered my bedroom.
At 10.30 a.m., three police officers led a man in handcuffs out of the premises. At 9 a.m., another guest reportedly witnessed a man with a “bruised face and a limp” being carried into the back of an ambulance.
A man from Birmingham who was in Liverpool for a “big night out” reported that he was awakened at 7 a.m. by a police officer standing outside his hotel room door after returning to the hotel early this morning.
“Around 7 a.m., they questioned me if I had noticed a disturbance during the night,” he explained.
“They informed me that something occurred on my floor at approximately 3 a.m. this morning, and someone just informed me that there is a cordon in the corridor,”
