Paul Doyle (53) from the West Derby area of Liverpool, was charged with dangerous driving, causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, wounding with intent to cause GBH and attempting to cause GBH with intent after the incident on Water Street in the city centre. The married father of three is to appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Friday. The charges Mr Doyle faces relate to six victims.

Thousands of people had gathered in the city to watch the title winners display the Premier League trophy on an open-top bus when the incident took place at about 6pm on Monday. At least 79 people were injured. The North West ambulance service said 27 people were taken to hospital, with two of the injured, including one child, having sustained serious injuries. Four children were injured in total, the youngest aged nine, and 20 people were treated at the scene, the ambulance service said. In a press conference at Merseyside Police headquarters on Thursday, a senior officer said seven people remained in hospital being treated for their injuries. Assistant chief constable Jenny Sims said the force was 'determined to gather as much evidence as possible' and that detectives were analysing volumes of CCTV footage, dashcam material and police body-worn video. The Crown Prosecution Service said the charges against Mr Doyle would remain under review as the investigation progressed. Ms Sims said: '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 answers to all those questions. When we are able to, we will provide further information.
