The victory parade of Liverpool had a horrifying accident when a car rammed into fans during the victory parade of the Premier League club on Monday.
Police in Liverpool say the driver was arrested. Merseyside Police said it was investigating reports that multiple pedestrians were hit.
A car was stopped and a man was arrested, police said.
The incident followed a large celebration in the city centre, where tens of thousands of dancing, scarf-and-flag-waving fans braved wet weather to line the streets and watch Liverpool’s players display the Premier League trophy atop two buses bearing the words “Ours Again.”
“The scenes in Liverpool are appalling — my thoughts are with all those injured or affected. I want to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and ongoing response to this shocking incident,” Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said in a statement.
“I’m being kept updated on developments and ask that we give the police the space they need to investigate.”
