Fifty-three-year-old was arrested after car was driven into crowd of people during football celebration in May
A man has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges, including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent, after a car was driven into a crowd of people in Liverpool in May.
Paul Doyle, 53, was arrested on 29 May after driving through a crowd of Liverpool football club supporters during the team’s Premier League trophy parade in the city centre on the evening of 26 May.
Doyle was initially charged with seven offences at the time of his arrest, but was charged with an additional 24 in August after appearing in Liverpool crown court via a video link.
The incident is reported to have occurred after Doyle allegedly followed an ambulance down a road off-limits to cars during the parade. His grey Ford Galaxy could allegedly be observed on CCTV being surrounded by fans before accelerating, running over and hitting many, and then coming to a stop. Police pushed back fans trying to remove him from the car before arresting him.
