Four people are still “very, very ill in hospital” after a car ploughed into a crowd during Liverpool’s Premier League victory parade, the city’s metro mayor has said.

A 53-year-old man was arrested after the “horror” incident in Water Street in the city centre on Monday, and four children were among around 50 who were injured– including one child who was seriously hurt.
