Man arrested after car plows into pedestrians gathered for Liverpool Football Club’s victory parade

Two people, including a child, were seriously injured and 25 others taken to hospital after a vehicle ploughed into a crowd of people celebrating Liverpool FC's Premier League championship victory on Monday.

According to reports, a 53-year-old man who is believed to have been the driver was arrested at the scene.

The vehicle drove into a crowd of fans on Water Street in Liverpool's city center just after 6 PM as hundreds of thousands of fans gathered to watch Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade.

The vehicle struck several pedestrians before coming to a stop.

Authorities are not treating the incident as terrorism but are investigating what led to the incident and have asked people to refrain from sharing "distressing content online."

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the incident as "appalling" and said those injured and affected are in his thoughts.
