To Liverpool, where former Royal Marine Paul Doyle has been charged over the car crash that injured almost 80 people on Monday. Police announced they had taken a 53-year-old white British man into custody within hours of the attack and this afternoon, officers announced at a presser that Doyle had been charged with two counts of wounding with intent, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and one count of dangerous driving.
Reports note that 79 people – including four children – sustained injuries in the incident that took place during Monday’s Premier League victory celebrations. Two people, including a child, were seriously hurt while 50 others needed hospital treatment. On Wednesday, seven people remained in inpatient care.
The 53-year-old father of three has in recent years held jobs in IT and cybersecurity while neighbours described Doyle as ‘such a normal Liverpool dad’ and a ‘genuinely pleasant family man’.
