A 53 -year -old British man plowed a small bus in a crowd of Liverpool football fans who were celebrating the Premier League in the city on Monday, as the shouts of joy turned into screams of terrorism.
Police said they arrested the man who was from the area. They did not give any information about the losses. An air ambulance and other emergency vehicles mocked the scene after it was hit by many infantry.
It seems that a video on a social media shows at least a small busy blow from the infantry and then turns into a larger crowd, carved a road across the group and pushing the bodies along the street before stopping.
“It was very fast,” said Harry Rashid, who was with his wife and two young daughters while the car that the car passed through. “Initially, we have just heard pop, pop, pop of people who came out of the car cover.”
Rashid said that the crowd accused the car and began to break the windows.
Rashid said: “But then he put his foot again and plowed with their rest, he continued to work,” Rashid said. “It was terrible. You can hear bumps wandering in people.”
Rashid said that she seemed deliberate.
He said: “My daughter started screaming, and there were people on the ground.” “They were just innocent people, only fans will enjoy enjoying.”
Liverpool fans went out in tens of thousands to celebrate the Premier League victory this season for the twentieth title in the twentieth.
Peter Jones, who traveled from Man, said he heard that the car had shattered the crowd and saw at least half of the scale.
Jones said: “We heard a stronger beep forward, a car flew behind me and my colleague, and people were chasing it and trying to stop it, and smashed the windows at the back,” Jones said. “Then he led to the people, the police and the doctor ran in us, and people were treated on the side of the road.”
Mercyside police said they were trying to determine what led to the accident and asked people not to speculate or exchange “sad content online.”
Prime Minister Kiir Starmer described the terrible scenes and said he was updated on the situation.
Liverpool’s last title in the league came in 2020, but supporters were rejected by the opportunity to celebrate publicly due to the restrictions in force during the Covid Epidem.
This time, the fans who waved in the scarf and trips challenged wet weather to line up in the streets and climb traffic lights for a look at the Liverpool players, who were busy carrying the phrase “to us again”.
The procession that lasted for hours-surrounded by a heavy presence of the police-crawls the length of the 10 miles (16 km) and through a sea of red smoke and rain. Fireworks exploded from the royal liver building in the heart of the city.
The team said in a short statement that his ideas and prayers were with the affected. The Premier League has issued a similar statement expressing a shock in the “horrific events in Liverpool”.
The police have identified the suspect as white, in a possible decision to prevent wrong information from dumping social media.
Last summer, a teenager in the nearby town of Soutbort was killed three girls in a stabbed stabbed separation and wounded 10 others, including two adults. An incorrect name was published for the suspect on social media and people said he was asylum asylum. In fact, he was born in the UK riots throughout England and Northern Ireland, as it targeted Muslims and refugees in asylum seekers and lasted for about a week.
