Mixed martial artist icon, Paddy Pimblett, known as Paddy The Baddy said: "Went the parade today amazing support as always for our reds nobody does celebrations and parades like us @liverpoolfc. Taking the baby's their first ever parade today was a memory I'll never forget the looks on their little faces looking at the spectacle and I'll have the pictures and videos to show them when they grow up.

"Still cannot believe what actually happened after it, day of celebration turned into a worry for everyone who was there or even knew anybody there, friends and family messaging to make sure that they are safe something that we shouldn't have to do or worry about. I hope anyone injured has a fast recovery and anyone affected already knows they have the full city supporting them, red or blue it doesn't matter. Things like this are more important than football YNWA."

Merseyside Police said it was called to an incident on Water Street shortly after 6pm, on the day Liverpool were celebrating their Premier League title win with their fans. A dark grey people-carrier was seen driving through the crowd, ploughing into dozens of fans while relentlessly beeping its horn.

The car reportedly stalled mid-way through the street, before later continuing to accelerate into the crowd. Horrific footage at the scene showed numerous people thrown to the floor as the car continued to accelerate. It subsequently came to a stop in the middle of Water Street, and police rushed in to surround the vehicle.

Shortly after the incident, police released a statement urging people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding the incident. They said: "Extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision. We would ask people not to share distressing content online but to send the footage or information directly to us @MerPolCC or pass on information by calling 101 quoting log 784."
