Liverpool police ‘squash' rumors of car street ramming being terror related
News Corp Europe Correspondent Sophie Elsworth discusses Liverpool police squashing 'any speculation' of the driving attack being terror-related.
'The police here in Merseyside came out last night and were quick to say this is not terror-related, and that a 53-year-old white British male has been arrested, the driver of the vehicle,' Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
'This was a day of celebration for Liverpool.
'It was a 10-mile parade that the players were going through … until about 6 o'clock last night when this car ploughed through the crowd.
'There are a lot of people here today in a very sombre mood.'

Latest posts Latest posts 9.43am Car fire sets warehouse alight in Perth's north WA Police are investigating an incident where two cars were set on fire in a suburb in Perth's north, resulting in a nearby warehouse also catching alight. The fire started behind a business on Rudloc Road in Morley around 3.30am. One car was an unregistered BMW and the other was there for repairs. Police say the cars were deliberately lit. The flames were extinguished in 40 minutes but by that time, both were destroyed. The fire had also spread to a business which sells Hindu prayer tables. Owner Mitesh Patel said there was a lot of damage but it was lucky no one was injured. 9.35am Across the nation and around the world Here's what's making headlines today: A British man is the sole survivor of the crash of Air India flight 171, which went down moments after take-off in Ahmedabad, killing more than 260 people, in one of the world's deadliest aviation disasters in years and India's worst in almost two decades.
