A 53-year-old British man who injured 65 people when his car rammed into a crowd of Liverpool football fans celebrating their team’s Premier League championship was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, police said today.
The driver was also being held on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving on drugs, Detective Chief Superintendent Karen Jaundrill said.
The incident yesterday turned a jubilant parade into a tragedy that sent 50 people to hospitals for treatment of their injuries. Eleven remained hospitalised today in stable condition.
The wounded included four children, one of whom had been trapped beneath the vehicle with three adults.
