Car Hits Crowd at Liverpool Premier League Parade, Man Arrested

Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade, which drew an estimated 800,000 jubilant fans celebrating the club's historic title, ended in tragedy when a car drove into the crowd on Water Street in Liverpool city centre. The incident occurred around 6pm, just as the celebrations with music by DJ Calvin Harris were reaching a peak, resulting in several injuries. A 53-year-old white British man from the Merseyside area was arrested at the scene, though it remains unclear whether he was the driver. Emergency services, including an air ambulance and counter-terrorism police, responded quickly to the incident, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper condemning the attack and thanking first responders. Witnesses described the event as horrifying, with people rushing to stop the vehicle and aid the injured. Liverpool Football Club expressed its support for the emergency services and local authorities handling the situation.
