Liverpool FC's CEO Billy Hogan has thanked fans and the emergency services for their response to Monday's tragic events after the team's title-winning parade in the city center.
Speaking in a video a day after 47 people were injured when a car ploughed into pedestrians on Water Street, Hogan sent his "heartfelt thoughts" to all those affected and said the club will continue to assist with the investigation.
"On behalf of all of us here at Liverpool Football Club, I would like to extend our heartfelt thoughts to all those who’ve been affected by this appalling incident on Water Street yesterday evening.
"This weekend was one of celebration, emotion and joy spread across the city in our entire fan base, and it ended in unimaginable scenes of distress with this appalling incident.
"I’d like to pay tribute to our emergency services and partner agencies – Merseyside Police, North West and St John Ambulance Services, and Merseyside Fire and Rescue – who dealt with the incident, and now our hospital staff across the city who are dealing with those who are injured, including tragically four children.
"I would also like to thank our supporters who witnessed this event and helped each other where they could.
"We continue to work with the emergency services and the local authorities to support their ongoing investigation and once again we would ask if anyone has any further information about the incident, please contact Merseyside Police. Thank you."
Emergency services confirmed on Monday that 47 were treated following the road traffic incident, 27 in hospital and 20 at the scene. Two were seriously hurt, including one child, Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims confirmed in a press conference.
She added a 53-year, white male was arrested at the scene and the incident is not being treated as a terrorist activity. The man arrested is understood to be the driver and Merseyside Police believe this to be an isolated incident.
Liverpool released a statement after the horrendous events, and said: "We are in direct contact with Merseyside Police regarding the incident on Water Street which happened towards the end of the trophy parade earlier this evening.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident.
"We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident."
Among those to post messages of support in the aftermath included Sir Kenny Dalglish, Jurgen Klopp, Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard.
