Liverpool Crown Court was left reeling as dashcam footage showed Paul Doyle’s Ford Galaxy crashing into a baby’s pram during Liverpool FC’s Premier League title parade.
Gasps and murmurs of “oh my god” echoed around the courtroom as the clip was played to the public gallery.
Prosecutor Mr Greaney explained that the pram, carrying six-month-old Teddy Eveson, was tipped onto its side after Doyle struck it. Remarkably, Teddy was unharmed. The court heard that Teddy’s mother was present to witness the footage, The Echo reported.
“This footage demonstrates the defendant’s total disregard for the safety of pedestrians, even the most vulnerable,” Mr Greaney said.

The court also viewed earlier dashcam footage showing Doyle striking a small girl on Water Street. After the collision, he shouted repeatedly at the crowd, saying: “F ing hell, move. Get out the f ing way. Move, move, move. What the f*** are you doing?”
Mr Greaney said Doyle had driven left of traffic management cones on Dale Street before continuing onto Water Street. Prosecutors described his actions as using his vehicle as a weapon, injuring more than 100 people.
Several were thrown onto the bonnet of the car, while others leapt out of its path. Doyle only stopped after fans confronted him, revving the engine as he did so.
Doyle, 54, of Burghill Road, West Derby, faces 31 charges relating to the incident, including 17 counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, nine counts of causing grievous bodily harm, three offences of wounding with intent, affray, and dangerous driving. Fifty victims required hospital treatment, and injuries ranged from babies to elderly spectators.

The parade incident occurred shortly after 6pm on May 26. What was meant to be a day of celebration turned into scenes of terror, with bystanders scrambling to avoid the vehicle. Doyle initially pleaded not guilty but changed his plea to guilty on the day he was due to go on trial at Liverpool Crown Court.
Judge Andrew Menary KC has warned that a custodial sentence is inevitable. Prosecutors say the dashcam footage shows the scale of Doyle’s recklessness and the fear he caused. From striking a baby’s pram to hitting a small girl and driving into crowds, the footage highlights the danger Doyle posed during what should have been a joyous celebration.

Court spectators were visibly shaken as the footage was replayed, demonstrating the terror faced by fans. The images are a stark reminder of the risks posed when vehicles are driven dangerously in public spaces, and of Doyle’s disregard for the lives of others.
