Man detained after car ploughs into Liverpool parade

A vehicle struck a number of people during Liverpool’s parade in celebration of their Premier League title success, British media have reported, with police confirming that an individual had been detained.

“We were contacted at just after 6pm (local time) following reports a car had been in collision with a number of pedestrians on Water Street,” Merseyside Police said in a statement on Monday

“The car stopped at the scene and a male has been detained.”

A 53-year-old white British man has been arrested, police confirmed.

A huge police cordon is in place on Water Street and emergency vehicles are lining the road.

A conscious man on a stretcher was seen being loaded into a St John’s ambulance and the paramedic told police he believed the Royal Hospital may be overwhelmed.

A number of police officers could be seen lining the junction of Castle Street and Water Street and firefighters were also on scene.

Emergency vehicles including ambulances were allowed out of the cordon to leave the area.

Liverpool sealed the title last month with four games to spare and ended the season with a 10-point lead over second-placed Arsenal.

They lifted the trophy after their 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday.

During the celebrations earlier on Monday, the players and staff waved to the crowd from an open-top bus with the words ‘Ours. Again.’ emblazoned on the side, as red flares were lit along the route, running from Allerton Maze to Blundell Street.
