May 29 (UPI) -- Police charged a 53-year-old man on Thursday in connection to this week's car-ramming incident at a Liverpool parade that left scores injured.
At least 79 people were injured in the incident Monday when the man, identified as Paul Doyle from the West Derby area of Liverpool, allegedly drove a Ford Galaxy into the celebrants in the city center. Some tried to divert the car before it hit more parade-goers. The parade was in celebration of Liverpool FC's title victory in the English Premier League soccer tournament.
Seven of the people who were injured remain hospitalized.
"I hope that all of those who were injured or witnessed this terrible incident are able -- given time -- to heal and recover," Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims said at a Thursday news conference.
