Photo by Adam Vaughan/EPA-EFE May 29 (UPI) -- Police have charged a 53-year-old man for driving his vehicle into a crowd of people who had gathered for a parade to celebrate Liverpool FC's title victory in the English Premier League soccer tournament. At least 79 people were injured in the incident Monday when the man, Paul Doyle, from the West Derby area of Liverpool, drove a Ford Galaxy into the celebrants in the city center, video verified by the BBC shows. Some fans tried to divert the car before it hit more parade-goers. Seven of the people who were injured remain hospitalized. "I hope that all of those who were injured or witnessed this terrible incident are able -- and given time -- to heal and recover," Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Jenny Sims said at a news conference, local media reported. Doyle was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving offenses and driving while "unfit through drugs," police reported. He is scheduled to appear in court on Friday. Police said the incident was not terrorism related and is believed to be an isolated event. Local media reported that the driver of the vehicle followed an ambulance into the area that was supposed to have been restricted to traffic for the parade, local media reported. Doyle's LinkedIn profile says that he is the head of cyber initiatives at a data center and served in the Royal Marines from 1990 to 1994. Local media reported that Doyle is a married father of three. "Neighbors described him as " such a normal Liverpool dad" and a "genuinely pleasant family man," The Times of London reported. "When police arrived at his house late on Monday night, the neighbors said they had assumed there had been a burglary." Police said officers are continuing to investigate the incident.

Photo by Adam Vaughan/EPA-EFE May 26 (UPI) -- A British man was arrested after a vehicle drove into and injured several soccer fans celebrating during the Liverpool Football Club's victory parade on Monday evening. The incident occurred shortly after 6 p.m. local time on Water Street in Liverpool's city center, where soccer fans had gathered for a parade celebrating the local football club's Premier League title win, the Daily Mail reported. "We are currently dealing with reports of a road traffic collision in Liverpool city center," Merseyside Police said in a prepared statement as reported by the BBC. "The car stopped at the scene, and a male has been detained," the statement said. "Emergency services are currently on the scene." No fatalities have been reported, but an unknown number of people were injured. Merseyside Police said a 53-year-old White British man from the Liverpool area was arrested, but they don't know if he drove the vehicle. Local police have asked that people not speculate on the collision's cause. "Extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision," a Merseyside Police spokesperson said. "We would ask people not to share distressing content online but to send the footage or information directly to us." Liverpool FC officials are in direct contact with local police regarding the event that happened near the end of the trophy parade, a club spokesperson said in a prepared statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident," the spokesperson said. "We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident." Before the parade incident that injured several people, another 17 were injured during incidents involving flares ahead of the title celebrations, the BBC reported. The Liverpool FC secured the Premier League Trophy with a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday. Local police expected hundreds of thousands to celebrate the title during the official trophy parade on Monday evening.
