Witness says driver 'revved so hard'
A witness to last night's incident has described the moment he heard the driver of the car revving his engine before hitting people.
"We just heard this screaming and we just saw the car coming towards us and he revved so hard, that's all I can get out my head, the car was revving so hard and then there were just people laid all over," Paul told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"And I just can't get this picture of this poor lady just laid under the front of the car, it was horrendous."
Paul says he took cover on the side of the road before people living in the adjacent block of flats let them into their room to get off the street.

'Heroes' at Indian restaurant helped turn it into makeshift triage centre
We've heard today of the extraordinary compassion shown by Liverpudlians last night.
One such example comes from Mowgli - an Indian street food restaurant in the city centre - which emergency services used as a triage centre for injured people.
A member of the emergency crews told Sky News the restaurant's staff responded by putting "all hands on deck".
"The duty managers went above and beyond to help us and we couldn't have asked for more from them," they said.
"I was tasked to deal with the staff directly to sort the triage centre out, and they were an absolute credit to Mowgli leadership.
"They assisted the injured people, provided aid to emergency services and were on hand all night to assist where they could. Heroes."
As a reminder, nearly 50 people were hurt after the incident, with 27 people being taken to various hospitals across Liverpool.
Witness: 'All you heard was screaming, it was disgusting'
By Ella Griffith, North of England producer in Liverpool
Hannah and Gavin came from Pembrokeshire to celebrate Liverpool's Premier League title win yesterday.
One of the best days of Gavin's life quickly turned into one of the worst.
"All you heard was screaming," he says, getting tearful. "It was disgusting, just screams and people scared for their lives."
The bottom of Water Street, opposite the Liver Building, is still cordoned off with police tape and dozens of media organisations reporting on what happened last night.
A number of police officers are standing guard, and 50 metres up the road, a large white police van is blocking the road and the view of the town hall. Discarded bottles, rubbish and a bike remain untouched.
Hannah said they'd had an "amazing day" but is traumatised this morning, shaking as she spoke.
She was on Water Street and didn't see the car, but heard the screaming, the police shouting for people to go, and people lying on the floor.
She said she heard someone saying a child had been hurt.
Hannah added that people didn't realise what had happened, and she panicked as she tried to find her partner Gavin.
'We are all with you,' Liverpool captain van Dijk says
Liverpool FC captain Virgil van Dijk says he is "praying for a speedy recovery" for all those injured during yesterday's incident.
The Dutch defender posted on Instagram: "My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected. Praying for a speedy recovery for everyone who suffered injuries.
"We are all with you."
Watch: Crowds swarm car and smash windows after collision
This video shows the aftermath of the collision as dozens of people swarm around the vehicle smashing its windows before a police officer gets in the passenger seat.
Liverpool hospital staff cancel strike
Workers at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital have cancelled planned strike action.
More than 50 workers were set to walk out today after concerns that staff burnout and understaffing were putting patients at risk.
But Unite regional officer Derek Jones said: "Following yesterday's tragic events in Liverpool, members took the immediate decision to suspend action so they could provide full support to the major incident which has been declared by the hospital trust."
In pictures: Forensic teams at scene
Forensic teams in white suits have been arriving at the scene on Water Street in central Liverpool in the past hour.
The Sky team at the site say the forensics unit is taking photos of evidence and dipping in and out of the blue tent.
Here's what we know - and what we don't
Here's what we know so far about yesterday's incident in Liverpool: A car drove through a crowd of people in Liverpool city centre yesterday at around 6pm;
The road had been closed to normal traffic for Liverpool FC's Premier League trophy parade;
Merseyside Police said it had arrested a 53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area;
Emergency services said 27 people were taken to hospitals with injuries and that two people, including one child, suffered serious injuries;
Three adults and one child were removed from beneath the vehicle, the fire service said.
We still don't know the full identity of the man arrested by police, who is believed to be the driver. We also don't know the driver's motive or how the car was able to access a closed road.
And we also don't know the names of those injured.
Farage condemns 'mindless act of violence'
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has condemned yesterday's incident in Liverpool as a "mindless act of violence".
"Our thoughts are very much with Liverpool Football Club, their supporters, who were celebrating after an absolutely fantastic season that they had," he says.
"And our thoughts go out to all of them after that mindless act of violence. We also thank the members of the public who did all they could to help the victims and of course, our emergency services."

Trump's administration reviews AUKUS submarine deal with Britain and Australia
The US has launched a formal review of the multi-billion pound AUKUS submarine deal with the UK and Australia. The defence pact, which is developing a new fleet of nuclear-powered hunter-killer submarines for the UK and Australia, was agreed under Joe Biden 's administration in 2021. The alliance, which also covers collaboration on other advanced technologies, is seen as an attempt to counter the influence of China. But Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon's top policy advisor, is among vocal sceptics in Donald Trump 's administration. "We are reviewing AUKUS as part of ensuring that this initiative of the previous administration is aligned with the President's America First agenda," a US official said. "Any changes to the administration's approach for AUKUS will be communicated through official channels, when appropriate." AUKUS envisages Australia acquiring up to five US Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines from 2032 before the UK and Australia design and build a new class of submarine with US assistance. Australia's defence minister Richard Marles said on Thursday he was confident the pact would still go ahead and his government would work closely with the US while Mr Trump's administration conducts a review. "This is a multi-decade plan. There will be governments that come and go and I think whenever we see a new government, a review of this kind is going to be something which will be undertaken," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It comes ahead of Mr Trump's first expected meeting with Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese on the sidelines of the G7 meeting in Canada. Security allies will discuss a request from Washington for Australia to increase defence spending from 2% to 3.5% of gross domestic product (GDP). AUKUS is at the centre of the UK's planned expansion of its submarine fleet, with up to 12 attack submarines expected to be built for the Royal Navy. The deal is said to be worth more than £175bn. When it was signed, all three countries - the US, UK and Australia - had different leaders. In May, the US president's new ambassador, Warren Stephens, used his first public speech to back the partnership, highlighting how "vital the US-UK relationship is to our countries and to the world". A UK government spokesperson said: "AUKUS is a landmark security and defence partnership with two of our closest allies. "It is one of the most strategically important partnerships in decades, supporting peace and security in the Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic, while also delivering jobs and economic growth in communities across all three nations."

Inspector ‘disappointed' to be injured by alleged sword attacker, court hears
A police officer has told jurors he was 'disappointed' to be injured as he tried to stop a swordsman who allegedly murdered 14-year-old schoolboy Daniel Anjorin. Marcus Arduini Monzo, 37, killed, skinned and deboned his pet cat Wizard before he launched a 20-minute spree of violence in Hainault, north-east London, on April 30 last year, the Old Bailey has heard. During the rampage, he virtually decapitated Daniel and attacked a pedestrian, two police officers and a couple in their own home, jurors have heard. One witness described Monzo screaming 'in delight' after mortally wounding the schoolboy who had been wearing his PE kit with his earphones on. Afterwards, he likened events to the Holywood movie The Hunger Games and claimed to have an alternative personality of a 'professional assassin'. On Thursday, Inspector Moloy Campbell told jurors how he was injured as he tried to detain Monzo. Before arriving at the scene, he heard on the radio that one of his colleagues had been stabbed. A member of the public waved him down and pointed towards a car park and garage area. Mr Campbell told jurors: 'Our purpose was to arrest and protect the other officers. I decided to confront the defendant.' He sprayed him first but the defendant 'blocked' the move and 'came for' the officer, jurors heard. Mr Campbell went on: 'I dropped my spray and drew my baton. I struck him or attempted to strike him. I believe I connected with him at least twice. 'Mr Monzo was slashing at me with a large sword. He made contact with my hand and certainly with my bodyworn camera.' Asked how he felt, the officer told jurors: 'I was disappointed to put it bluntly because it meant I could not carry on what I was trying to do.' Trial judge Mr Justice Bennathan observed: 'Presumably you were terrified because someone is slashing at you with a sword.' The witness replied: 'It was frightening. I remember my priority to try to carry on.' He said he saw blood when he looked down at his hand and his baton was also covered in blood. Ms Campbell said he found himself 'backed into a corner' and withdrew, and asked a colleague to put a tourniquet on his thumb. He was treated at the scene and taken to hospital as the defendant was detained and arrested a short time later, the court was told. Previously, the court has heard how Monzo launched a series of attacks by driving his grey Ford Transit van into Donato Iwule, who was 'catapulted' into a nearby garden before the vehicle smashed into a concrete pillar and fence. He went on to hit Mr Iwule in the neck with his sword before running away, it is alleged. He then virtually decapitated Daniel, who was wearing headphones on his way to school, jurors have heard. In a statement read to the court, Maria Olmos described Monzo's reaction after the attack saying: 'As he fell to his knees, the man raised both his arms to the sky. 'At the time of doing so he let out an extremely loud scream. It wasn't a scream of pain, it was a scream of delight – my interpretation was he was celebrating. 'His eyes and mouth were wide open when he screamed.' Jurors were shown further CCTV and police body-worn camera footage of Monzo running through the residential area armed with a Samurai sword. Pc Yasmin Mechem-Whitfield pursued the armed defendant through a series of alleyways through residential properties, the court heard. Monzo struck her three times with the sword that had a 60cm blade using 'extreme force', the prosecutor said. It is alleged the defendant entered a property and attacked a couple who were sleeping in an upstairs bedroom with their young daughter nearby. Forensic pathologist Dr Ashley Fegan-Earl told jurors that Daniel's injuries were 'absolutely unsurvivable'. He said that Daniel's cause of death was sharp force trauma to the head and that Monzo had used 'an extreme level of force'. Monzo denies Daniel's murder and the attempted murders of Mr Iwule, Sindy Arias, Henry De Los Rios Polania and Ms Mechem-Whitfield, as well as wounding Mr Campbell with intent. He also denies aggravated burglary and possession of a bladed article relating to a kitchen knife. Monzo previously admitted two counts of having an offensive weapon, namely two swords.

'Let down' Tory councillor defects to Reform UK
A Scottish Conservative councillor has defected to Reform UK, saying her old party has left her feeling 'let down'. Lauren Knight is the 15th Scottish councillor to join Nigel Farage's party, joining Reform just one week after the party came third at the Hamilton, Larkhall, and Stonehouse by-election. Knight was elected as a Tory to represent Huntly, Strathbogie and Howe of Alford for Aberdeenshire Council. On Thursday, she announced she was defecting to Reform UK, saying the Conservative party 'has left her' and that she 'feels let down by so many broken promises'. 'I am ready to drive forward meaningful, lasting change, and I believe that only Reform UK is offering the real and radical change Scotland now needs,' Knight said. 'Scotland has been abandoned by the two party establishment, which continues to prioritise self interests and party politics over genuine change.' Welcoming her to the party, Glasgow councillor Thomas Kerr said: 'Lauren Knight brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to Reform UK and I'm delighted to welcome her onto our team. 'We're now Scotland's fastest growing political movement and it's clear why – the SNP, Labour and Tories have broken Scotland. Reform is on a mission to fix it.' A Scottish Tory spokesman said: 'Under Russell Findlay, we're reconnecting with common sense conservative values of enterprise, self-reliance, fiscal responsibility and the rule of law. 'Every poll shows that Reform will only help the SNP. As we saw in last year's general election, they handed several seats to the SNP which would have otherwise gone to a pro-UK party. 'Reform are likely to stand pro-independence candidates in the 2026 election and Nigel Farage has even said he's not worried about the SNP getting another five years in power. 'The Scottish Conservatives will continue to work hard to rebuild trust with disillusioned voters by holding the failing SNP Government to account and promoting common sense conservative values.'
