"A number of people came forward to police at the time about what they saw and as a direct result of this, we arrested two males shortly after away from the scene. They are currently in custody but this is where the hard work begins in getting a conviction.

"Thankfully a number of people did stop to help the people they left behind, including a St John Ambulance crew who were on scene when it happened and got to work straight away.

"Police would like to thank the many people who did stop to pick up the pieces, especially the taxi driver who stayed behind just to make sure people had some where warm to sit while emergency services did their work.

"N.I.A.S. and N.I.F.R.S. were on scene quickly and able to get the two remaining drivers to hospital. Once again, the kindness of the public and people in this city is truly something to be proud of."
