A 53-year-old man has been arrested in the case. Merseyside Police said the suspect was white, British and from the Liverpool area. Prime Minister Keir Starmer described “appalling” scenes as witnesses described a people carrier ploughing into crowds of people who had been celebrating in the city centre.

“Everyone, especially children, should be able to celebrate their heroes without this horror,” he said.

At a press conference late on Monday evening, Dave Kitchin from North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) announced that emergency services had taken 27 people to the hospital. Paramedics treated an additional 20 people at the scene, including four injured children. He said two of those taken to the hospital, including one of the children, suffered serious injuries.

Liverpool fans had gathered in the hundreds of thousands to celebrate the team’s Premier League victory this season. The win marked a record-tying 20th top-flight title for the club.
