Dozens of people have been injured after a car ploughed at high speed through packed crowds in Liverpool, where thousands had gathered to celebrate Liverpool football clubs’s parade through the city following their victory in the Premier League.
Merseyside Police have arrested a 53-year-old white British man, believed to be the driver of the vehicle. They have said that they are not treating it as a terror attack and are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
Several people were trapped under the vehicle including a child. 27 people were taken to hospital. Two of them, including a child, are in a serious condition.
The Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the scenes as “appalling” and has thanked the emergency services for their swift response.
