LIVERPOOL — The football world united on May 27 after a car ploughed into a packed crowd celebrating Liverpool winning the Premier League title, leaving 27 people requiring hospital treatment.
Police ruled out terrorism following the incident in the city on May 26 as hundreds of thousands turned out in the rain to see Liverpool's victory parade.
Four children were among those hurt, one seriously, after a dark-colored vehicle swerved through the crowd minutes after the players' open-top bus had passed by.
Police arrested a 53-year-old white British man whom they believe to be the driver.
After an occasion which had started joyously only to end in horror and incomprehension, Liverpool Football Club posted on X: "Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident."
"My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected," said club captain Virgil van Dijk on social media.
"Praying for a speedy recovery for everyone who suffered injuries. We are all with you."
Kenny Dalglish, one of the club's best-known players and a former manager of the club, said he was "shocked, horrified and deeply saddened".
