MAN CHARGED BY UK POLICE OVER LIVERPOOL CAR COLLISION IN COURT TODAY – Paul Doyle, from the West Derby area of Liverpool, was charged with seven offences
British police charged a 53-year-old man on Thursday, May 29th, after a car ploughed into a crowd of Liverpool soccer fans during a victory parade earlier this week, injuring dozens.
Paul Doyle, from the West Derby area of Liverpool, was charged with seven offences, including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The attempted murder charge was dropped.
He was arrested on Monday, May 26th and will appear before Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on today, Friday, May 30th.
The incident took place in Liverpool’s packed city centre on Monday evening, with video footage showing a grey Ford Galaxy colliding into the crowd of dozens, throwing some people in the air and dragging others under its wheels.
Police have said the incident, which left a total of 79 people injured, was isolated and not an act of terrorism.
Seven people remain in hospital in stable condition.
