Sir Keir Starmer has sent his thoughts to those injured and affected by a car ramming incident in Liverpool and is being "kept up to date" with developments as they come in.

Merseyside Police confirmed a 53-year-old man has been arrested after a car collided with pedestrians in Liverpool city centre during Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade.

Emergency services rushed to Water Street after Merseyside Police were contacted just after 6pm on Monday with reports of the incident.

The car stopped at the scene and a man was detained by police.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: "The scenes in Liverpool are appalling my thoughts are with all those injured or affected."

He added: "I want to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and ongoing response to this shocking incident."

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner shared just minutes after the PM: "Deeply saddened by the horrific scenes in Liverpool.

Random accident? No barriers to keep vehicles from mixing with pedestrians?

“...a car collided with pedestrians”
“...deeply saddened”

There sure is an epidemic of cars hitting groups of people. Very odd.

Caused by no one in particular. Anyone guessing as to the motivations of the attacker will be arrested.

Who knows about this incident (and suspicious ones in the US) but terrorist groups have advised believers to use vehicles to kill pedestrians.

“The Islamic State is now using trucks equipped with metal plates welded to the cab to protect the driver, so that they can deliver large explosive devices to their intended targets. U.S. soldiers have reportedly named these customized suicide vehicles “Franken-Trucks.”

A summary from another search:

Magazines like ISIS’s Rumiyah and Al-Qaeda’s Inspire have featured detailed guides and justifications for using vehicles as weapons.

The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point notes that in September 2014, Islamic State spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani called for supporters to use vehicles as weapons. He instructed followers to use rocks, knives, or cars to attack disbelievers.

It’s those auto pilot cars, self drivers

Can’t possibly be a human being who would do that?

Looks like he keeps steering the car into the densest crowd. Definitely intentional!

BTW. These mass car killings seems to be getting a lot more common, especially in Europe and New Zeeland! Maybe the strict gun control laws have something to do with them?

You better believe it - esp. if you put it up on social media.

'Sir Keir Starmer has sent his thoughts...'

'Thoughtsies and prayersies' are meaningless if you do nothing to stop the insanity.

We would ask people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding tonight’s incident on Water Street in Liverpool city centre.

We can confirm the man arrested is a 53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area.

Extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision.
