Merseyside Police were tonight holding a press conference following the harrowing vehicle incident during Liverpool's Premier League trophy parade. A day of celebration in the city was ruined when, at around 6pm, a car careered into fans, leaving many needing hospital treatment.

Police have since confirmed a 53-year-old white British man has been detained. The authority will now hold a media briefing to update people on the situation. They've already urged people not to share footage of the incident online and have instead asked supporters to send videos directly to them to help their investigation.

Their official X page stated: "We would ask people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding tonight’s incident on Water Street in Liverpool city centre. We can confirm the man arrested is a 53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area. Extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision."
