Paul Doyle, 53, is accused of seven offences following the incident on Water Street in the city centre on Monday, which resulted in 79 people suffering injuries.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Thursday he is accused of two counts of wounding with intent, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and one count of dangerous driving.
A wounding charge and an attempted grievous bodily harm charge relate to a child.
Doyle, of the West Derby area of Liverpool, is due to appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Friday.

In a statement issued to reporters on Thursday, chief crown prosecutor for CPS Mersey-Cheshire, Sarah Hammond, said: 'The investigation is at an early stage.
'Prosecutors and police are continuing to work at pace to review a huge volume of evidence.
'This includes multiple pieces of video footage and numerous witness statements.
'It is important to ensure every victim gets the justice they deserve.'
At the press conference, assistant chief constable of Merseyside Police, Jenny Sims, added: 'I fully understand how this incident has left us all shocked and saddened, and I know many will continue to have concerns and questions.
'Our detectives are working tirelessly, with diligence and professionalism, to seek the answer to all of those questions.
'When we are able to, we will provide further information.'
Ms Sims said seven people remain in hospital.
Police previously said they believed the car that struck pedestrians was able to follow an ambulance crew attending to someone suffering a heart attack after a road block was temporarily lifted.

How Liverpool has dealt with the aftermath of the trophy parade crash
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page It was supposed to be a day of joy and celebration. But the elation of Liverpool's Premier League trophy parade on Monday came to an abrupt and devastating halt when a car crashed into crowds lining the city's streets. Moments after the bus containing Reds heroes went past Water Street, babies' prams were thrown into the air and fans wearing the iconic Liverpool shirt found themselves trapped under the wheels of a Ford Galaxy. Paul Doyle, 53, has appeared in court charged with multiple offences, including causing grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving.

He has also been charged with injuring or attempting to injure six people – including two children. In the aftermath, Metro has been in Liverpool talking to the community on how they're trying to recover from Monday's scenes. But if there's one community that has the spirit needed to recover, it's the city of Liverpool. Police officers cover with an inflatable tent (Picture: AFP) 'It doesn't matter who you are, people come together' 'No one knows how to do it like us,' Charlie Azzopardi told Metro. 'I don't know anywhere else in the country that comes together like we do.' Charlie is a survivor of the Hillsborough disaster which claimed the lives of 97 people in a crowd crush at a Liverpool FC match. He said Monday's crash took him 'right back' to the moment he saw the Hillsborough crowd becoming fatally out of control. Charlie Azzopardi (left) helped raise money for victims (Picture: Brooke Davies/Social media) Paul Doyle has been charged with harming or attempting to harm six football fans 'I was with my granddaughters, and I was so scared there was going to be a Hillsborough scale disaster, so we left just minutes before the crash,' he said. But once back home and working behind the bar at Coopers Townhouse in the heart of the city, an impromptu decision to raise money for the young victims of the crash saw £200 raised for Alder Hey Hospital. Charlie said: 'When something bad happens in Liverpool, it doesn't matter who you are, people come together. 'We still have that Hillsborough spirit of looking after each other.'

Although the restaurant itself has declined to be interviewed, Metro has heard from a number of people at the scene how they rushed to look after people as panic took hold around them. One mum, who wanted to remain anonymous to protect her 14-year-old child's identity, told Metro: 'My daughter was in the middle of eating when suddenly the staff politely informed them no bill was to be paid. Court artist sketch by Elizabeth Cook of Paul Doyle, 53, appearing at Liverpool Magistrates' Court (Picture: Elizabeth Cook/PA Wire) 'They thought it was a car accident, but at that point there were rumours of a terror attack and I panicked. 'It was a small thing, but staff helped them remain calm and put their safety first.' People started 'singing again' Over at Liverpool's iconic Mathew Street – where tourists flock to drink at the Beatle's themed bars and soak up live music – it took just hours for people to 'start singing again'. After the crash, the atmosphere 'instantly dipped', but business owners knew how quickly the community would bounce back. Kiera told Metro: 'This area was near the last stop, and soon enough we had people running in telling us about it. 'A dad came in with his two young kids crying by his side – they had witnessed the whole thing. It was very sad.' But she said it wasn't long until people were 'singing again'. 'It is quiet for a Tuesday night but I can imagine people are just hungover,' she said. 'Nothing will change this street, the atmosphere will always be what it is.' Owen, bar worker at King John, told Metro: 'It's quiet tonight, but I don't think because of the crash. 'The atmosphere has been good on Mathew Street – always is.'

Can Scotland learn to love Farage?
There's not much that's green in Larkhall, Scotland. So staunchly Protestant unionist is the ex-mining town in South Lanarkshire that it has scrubbed itself of anything associated with Irish Catholicism. The local Subway franchise has grey panelling on its front, and local pharmacies have opted for blue signage. The 15,000-strong area has one football team: Rangers FC. Go deeper into Larkhall's suburbia and you'll find Union Jacks on flagpoles interspersed with those bearing the Red Hand of Ulster. Kerbstones have been painted in the colours of the British flag while rumours abound of youths trying to set fire to the grass. 'In our schools, the wains aren't taught that traffic lights are red, amber and green,' one resident chuckled proudly. 'It's red, white and blue.' He was not joking. Some unsuspecting emerald lights were subjected to £17,000 worth of damage many years ago, and they remain boxed off by wire mesh to this day. It is in this town, as well as in neighbouring Stonehouse and Hamilton, that voters will head to the polls on Thursday 5 June to choose their representative in the Scottish Parliament, following the passing of SNP incumbent Christina McKelvie in March.

'I survived the Tunisia terror attack by swimming out to sea'
Colin Bidwell was never a religious man, but he prayed three times on June 26, 2015. It had taken him a few days to settle into his sunshine break in Sousse, Tunisia, with his wife Chris, but as he sprawled on a sun lounger in front of the ocean on his penultimate day, he finally felt thoroughly relaxed. Then, at around noon, terrorist Seifeddine Rezgui stormed the beach armed with an automatic rifle that he'd hidden in a beach umbrella and opened fire. 'I remember vividly an hour before it happened, I looked out directly at the ocean and thought to myself: 'This is the life. This is wonderful.' I'm a bit of a fidgety person; I'm not the best at lying down and relaxing, but I was trying hard that holiday to zone out,' the painter and decorator from Windlesham, Surrey, tells Metro. 'You'd never think it was going to happen.' At first, Colin thought the 'pops' he heard were fireworks, until he saw his terrified wife heading towards the hotel, urging him to run. He felt the bullets ricochet off the sand as he sprinted to hide behind an upturned boat. 'It was pure shock, right to the core. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. There was the gunfire going on, and I thought that was it. That he was coming down, finishing everybody off. I prayed for my life, and then I looked up and saw the sea in front of me. 'I thought: 'I could die here, or I could die running'. So I ran down the beach and swam out as far as I could,' Colin, 60, recalls. When he thought it was safe, he stopped and started to tread water. 'Then I got tired, and the panic set in. That's when I prayed again. I don't know how I did it, but I pointed my toe and found a rock sticking up. I managed to get my breath. And then luckily, [local man] Mohammed saw me and picked me up in the boat. He told me I'd been bitten by a fish.' The bleeding was in fact where Colin had been grazed twice by Rezgui's bullets, but the adrenaline had blanked out the pain. Mohammed dropped him off at a nearby hotel where he thought he'd be safe. 'I knew the area. So I thought I'd go from the hotel to a mobile police station at the end of the road. But I jumped over a wall and there he was.' Rezgui had left the beach and was inland, having entered the nearby five-star Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel and shooting at anyone who crossed his path. Colin lowered himself behind the wall so he wouldn't be seen, and then he heard a commotion as another local came to his rescue. Moncef Mayel, who lived nearby, was watching everything from a nearby balcony and started throwing ceramic tiles down to distract Rezgui. Moments later, it would all be over. Police opened fire, and the 23-year-old attacker was shot dead. Rezgui had killed 38 tourists, 30 of them from the UK. It was the greatest British loss of life in a terror attack since the London bombings in 2005. ISIS later claimed responsibility. As soon as he could, Colin headed down to the beach to see if any of the bodies, now covered with beach towels, belonged to Chris – making his final prayer that he would find her alive. 'Then I saw her in the hotel, in her yellow bikini. We ran to each other and held each other. It was an amazing thing because we'd survived. 'I'm not a deeply religious guy, but I'm now a great believer in the power of prayer. I prayed that day three times, and I survived,' he explains. Colin doesn't like to talk about the attack, partly because it is traumatic but mainly because he is acutely aware that while the pair of them made it out alive, many others didn't. The couple returned to the UK, where they suffered from the aftereffects. Chris would repeatedly check that the doors were closed and locked. Sometimes she struggled to leave the house, panicking in the car, and to this day, she has to know where the exits are when they go to a restaurant. Meanwhile, Colin would unexpectedly taste salt in his mouth – perhaps as a result of the panic while treading water – and they were both jumpy around Fireworks Night. 'Your awareness is dialled up to 11. You think everybody around you could be a threat. You don't feel safe. You never think something like this is going to happen to you, and when it does, you can't help but think it's going to happen again,'he says. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video As the impact of the trauma started to subside, Colin was eager to make sense of what he'd been through, so he decided to go to the local mosque. 'I was a stereotypical guy who worked on construction sites. I was very ignorant when it came to other religions. When I went to the mosque, I was watching people with backpacks and thinking: 'Is he going in there with that?' I didn't cope well with it.' But after meeting the Imam and his wife, Colin learned that the attack wasn't religious, but political. 'I came to understand that you can take things literally in the Quran that can be completely misinterpreted. And I learned that understanding more about people's faiths might help to stop something like this happening again.' A year after the attack, Colin made the difficult decision to return to Sousse to thank Mohammed, Moncef and the hotel staff who had helped, and to find peace. 'Both my grandfathers, who were in World War II, played a huge part in my life. One was in Dunkirk, and the other was behind the lines in Burma. I remember both of them saying that they wished they had gone back sooner – that they could cope better afterwards. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but one of the best things I've ever done, because it was healing,' he explains. Following the attack, Colin found a deep appreciation of life and became more in touch with himself. He had what he described as a 'spiritual awakening' and decided that, as he had been spared, he wanted to be the best person he could be. When he was approached by the Institute of Strategic Dialogue, a think tank that aims to conquer extremism, and was asked to talk to people who were being radicalised, he jumped at the chance. 'We're all here for a purpose, and I think mine was just to become a better person. If we all have a bit of that, there'd be a lot more peace in the world,' he adds. 'It was around the time when there were a lot of beheadings being put out on social media, and the Institute found that if you reached out early to some of these people that were either posting this or were the contributors to the original filming, they would think more carefully about what they would do next. 'I would try to talk to these people over Facebook, and over time, I started making headway. There were a couple that I spoke to over quite a long period of time, and I think I made a difference. I was doing a couple of hours every night, telling people that I was a survivor and challenging their beliefs.' More Trending Ten years since the attack, Colin has made his peace with the human world, but has a way to go with the natural world. He used to love the ocean, but after fearing he might drown at sea during the attack, he has yet to return to the waves. He holidays on the Isle of Wight, or if he goes abroad, the couple stay in villas inland. 'Recovering from the trauma is an ongoing process,' he explains. 'You learn to live with it. You can't let it bring you down or live your life in fear. I will go out and swim like I used to. I know I'm going to make my peace with it, sooner or later.'
