A man has been detained after a vehicle hit “a number of pedestrians” in Liverpool, shortly after LFC’s parade bus arrived in the city centre.

Videos shared to social media appear to show a vehicle among the crowds of Liverpool fans in the Water Street area, surrounded by police officers.

One X user shared a video and said: “Car has ploughed into fans after the Liverpool parade.” Another shared a video of multiple people appearing to be knocked down by a dark-coloured vehicle, though this has since been removed.

In a statement, Merseyside Police said: "We are currently dealing with reports of a road traffic collision in Liverpool city centre.
