A WOMAN was trapped beneath a bus after being knocked down in Liverpool city centre today.

Fire crews used air bags to lift the bus off the woman, thought to be in her 40s, who was conscious and breathing, after the accident on Cook Street.

Paramedics were also at the scene to treat her for serious leg injuries.

Onlookers watched in horror as the woman was hit and dragged along the road screaming for the bus to stop.

Two fire engines and a search and rescue crew were sent to the scene to help the rescue operation.
