A driver was arrested Monday after plowing into a crowd of Liverpool soccer fans who had been celebrating the city soccer teams Premier League championship, police said.
Merseyside Police said they were investigating reports that multiple pedestrians had been hit.
A video on social media appeared to show a gray minivan strike at least one pedestrian and then veer into a larger crowd of people, carving a path through the group and pushing bodies along the street like a plow before coming to a stop.
Harry Rashid, who was at the parade with his wife and two young daughters, said the car began ramming people about 10 feet away from him.
It was extremely fast,” Rashid said. Initially, we just heard the pop, pop, pop of people just being knocked off the bonnet of a car.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was being updated on the situation and thanked police for their quick response.
The scenes in Liverpool are appalling my thoughts are with all those injured or affected,” Starmer said.
