Police say 50 people have been treated in hospitals after a car rammed into a crowd of Liverpool football fans celebrating their team’s English Premier League championship and 11 remain in hospital.
Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims of Merseyside Police said the patients were all stable on Tuesday afternoon (early Wednesday AEST).
The number of injured who were treated at hospital was nearly double the 27 police had announced on Monday (Tuesday morning AEST).
The 53-year-old car driver was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, police said.
Detective Chief Superintendent Karen Jaundrill said the man was also being held on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving on drugs.
Police said the driver followed an ambulance to get through road blocks that had been set up during Liverpool’s championship parade.
More to come.
