He told This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Rylan Clark-Neal that he was sleeping rough outside the arena when it happened on Monday night.
Steven explained: "We knew it was a child's do so were were getting our heads down.
"We heard a pop and then we heard the explosion and we got up and ran.
"We knew we had to go back and help people because there were kids covered in blood. We did run away at first, but then we ran back when we realised we were okay and they needed help.

"I saw people stepping over children that night to get away and to me that wasn't the right thing to be done," Steven said on the ITV show.
David Sullivan Junior appeared alongside Steven to explain the steps that he and his West Ham co-owner father were trying to take to help get him off the streets.
He explained that he is working with a homeless centre in Manchester with the aim of getting Steven accommodation as soon as possible.
Furthermore, the "homeless hero" announced that he is moving on with his life in the best way possible, even gaining a job interview.
"I'm meeting someone today for a restaurant interview. Whilst I was waiting to talk to you, people want to come and shake my hand and they're asking for selfies.
"My love goes out to everyone that has raised money for me. I just want to say thank you. I just did what everyone else would have done," selfless Steven added.
