A man was arrested on Monday after driving into a crowd of soccer fans in Liverpool, England, in the United Kingdom. It transpired during a celebration that followed Liverpool Football Club’s Premier League Championship.

The parade reportedly attracted tens of thousands of fans to celebrate the team’s league championship.

According to witnesses, the man was seen driving his vehicle into “a number of pedestrians,” after the team’s bus passed through the area.

In a press conference soon after, UK police shared that the individual who struck the pedestrians is a “53-year-old White British man,” without providing more details regarding his identity.

The incident left over 45 people injured, with at least four of the injuries being inflicted on children. 27 individuals were transported to the hospital, including “two with severe injuries,” according to Dave Kitchin of North West Air Ambulance.
