Ah, a 'collision with pedestrians' as the official called it.
We await further word.
A man has been detained after a car collided with pedestrians in Liverpool city centre after Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory parade.
Emergency services descended on Water Street after Merseyside police were contacted just after 6pm on Monday with reports of the incident.
The car was stopped at the scene and a man was detained. Merseyside police later confirmed the man was a 53-year-old British man from the Liverpool area.
“Extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision,” the force said.
The Guardian understands the investigation, at this stage, is being led by Merseyside police, who are being supported by the North West counter-terrorism unit. The involvement of counter-terrorism officers in the early stages of the investigation is a precaution, as detectives try to establish any motive behind the collision.
Footage showed police cordons in place around the heavily littered road, with a large police presence, ambulances and a fire engine also at the scene.
