A 53-year-old man crashed his car into crowds of people celebrating Liverpool’s Premier League championship on Water Street near the center of the city on Monday, Reuters and the BBC reported. It is unclear how many pedestrians were hurt, but at least four injured were carried away on stretchers, according to an eye witness from the BBC.
Merseyside police said on X that the car stopped at the scene and the driver was arrested.
In a later press release, police asked people “not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding tonight’s incident.” They confirmed the man arrested is a “white British man from the Liverpool area,” adding that “Extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision.”
