Four children were among about 50 people injured in a “horror” incident after a car ploughed into a crowd during Liverpool’s Premier League victory parade, with one youngster seriously hurt.

Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims said the “horrific incident” was not being treated as terrorism following the arrest of a 53-year-old man at the scene.
