A 53-year-old British man was arrested for ramming a car into a parade of Liverpool soccer fans celebrating their team’s victory in the Premier League Championship, resulting in the hospitalisation of 47 people.

According to authorities, the British man is believed to be the only person involved in the incident, therefore, the terrorism angle has been ruled out as of now.

Videos of the incident shared on social media captured the moment when the speeding car drove into the large crowds of fans. Many people were hit by the car as they attempted to escape the sudden chaos that erupted.

As the car stopped, angry fans surrounded it and began smashing the windows as police officers intervened to prevent them from reaching the driver.

"We believe this to be an isolated incident, and we are not currently looking for anyone else in relation to it. The incident is not being treated as terrorism," temporary Deputy Chief Constable Jenny Sims was quoted as saying by Reuters.

An eyewitness said the collision happened about 10 minutes after the bus carrying the Liverpool team had passed by, the British Broadcasting Corporation reported.

The incident "cast a very dark shadow over what had been a joyous day," Liverpool city council leader Liam Robinson said on social media.

"My thoughts are with all those injured or affected," Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on X, calling the scenes "appalling" and saying he was being updated about the events.

“The scenes in Liverpool are appalling — my thoughts are with all those injured or affected. I want to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and ongoing response to this shocking incident. I’m being kept updated on developments and ask that we give the police the space they need to investigate,” he wrote.
