LONDON (AA) - A 23-year-old man has been arrested in connection with Monday’s deadly terror attack in Manchester, U.K. police said on Tuesday.

“With regards to last night’s incident at the Manchester Arena, we can confirm we have arrested a 23-year-old man in South Manchester,” Greater Manchester Police said.

Two victims have been identified so far: eight-year-old Saffie Rose Roussos and 18-year-old Georgina Callender.

At least 22 people were killed on Monday night when a man detonated a device in the foyer area of the Manchester Arena at the end of a pop concert, injuring 59 others. The death toll is feared to climb as some of the patients are in critical condition, health care services have said.

The arena had been hosting a concert by U.S. pop star Ariana Grande and thousands of children and teenagers were among the crowd.

Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday said the identity of the perpetrator was known to police but added the authorities would not be revealing more information for the moment.

She said many of the 59 casualties being treated across eight regional hospitals had life-threatening injuries.

All campaigning ahead of the country’s June 8 general election has now been suspended, May added.
