The city of Liverpool is in shock after a car ploughed into the crowd at Liverpool FC’s Premier League title victory parade. Twenty-seven people were taken to hospital and 20 others were treated at the scene. Four children were among the injured. At least four people, including one of the children, are said to have sustained serious injuries.
Merseyside police said a 53-year-old white male from the Liverpool area was arrested at the scene. At a late-night press conference, the force’s assistant chief constable Jenny Sims said the “horrific incident” was not being treated as terrorism.
