Merseyside police say a car collided with pedestrians during Liverpool FC's Premier League trophy parade in the English city of Liverpool on Monday. A 53-year-old white British man has been detained, the police said, according to Sky News.
Numerous emergency vehicles are on the scene. Thousands upon thousands of fans took to the streets of the port city to celebrate the team's incredibly dominant run to the Premier League title, which the team celebrated at their home stadium, Anfield, on Sunday, before the scheduled parade on Monday. Liverpool is located over 200 miles northwest of London.
"We are currently dealing with reports of an RTC (road traffic crash) in Liverpool city center. We were contacted at just after 6 p.m. today, Mon 26 May, following reports a car had been in collision with a number of pedestrians on Water Street. The car stopped at the scene and a male detained," read a statement from the Merseyside Police on X
It's unclear at this time as to how many people were potentially injured and the severity of any injuries.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that "the scenes in Liverpool are appalling — my thoughts are with all those injured or affected," according to the Liverpool Echo. The newspaper also reports that an air ambulance has landed in the city center.
