As the investigation into the bombing continues, one Manchester man gave an emotional interview, pledging support for all citizens of Manchester, no matter what they believe in, or where they’re from.

This video interview originally appeared on BBC Newsnight.

At least 22 people died and 59 were hurt in the attack at Manchester Arena. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks, according to CNN. Ariana Grande has suspended her tour.
