**Today, police footage shared with Turkish media shows officers arresting `Albashir, who is from Syria`, at a house where she was allegedly hiding.**
The suspect’s arrest comes as CCTV appears to **show the suspected bomber running away from the scene of the explosion, reports local newspaper [Aksam](https://www.aksam.com.tr/trend/istiklalde-bombayi-birakan-teroristin-kacis-ani-ortaya-cikti/haber-1319335).**
Minutes after the bomb explosion**`, the suspect, wearing what appears to be a hijab, is seen running through a crowd of bewildered onlookers, who were looking behind them at the aftermath of the bombing.`** **`She is the only person looking forwards. `**
Albashir, who is believed to have planted a bag containing the bomb on a park bench, is among 46 people who have been detained by police since the attack.
> Bozdag said: ‘**A woman had been sitting on one of the benches for more than 40 minutes and then she got up. ‘One or two minutes later, an explosion occurred.**
>
> ‘There are two possibilities,’ he said. **‘There’s either a mechanism and it explodes, or someone remotely explodes (it). All data on this woman are currently under scrutiny,’ he added.**
