I'm not so sure that the pic of people (clearly at the Manchester arena) is necessarily a 'fake' as claimed earlier tbh...

If it's a speaker, why would heavily armed police descend on the area?

Not according to witnesses via the BBC. Explosion powerful enough to knock someone off their feet and multiple injuries immediatley clear to them.
Because people have reported a bang(s). No one immediately knows that the bang was a speaker, No one remains rational and calm, people are naturally scared, at that moment in time all they believed was the bang was a terrorist.

There's also a picture of an injured girl on twitter. Her injuries really don't look like someone who's been injured in a stampede, they look like someone who's been in an explosion.

It is. I've seen it before in the press when they ran a training exercise there many years ago.
Not really. The venue is bang on top of the station so you don't want to add anything more to the chaos.

Just seen that
Same with the bloke wearing no trousers in the Guardian images.
Indeed.
Precautions
It is from a training exercise from a while back, Not from this incident.
