According to the report, Merseyside Police and the British Crown Prosecution Service announced this at a joint press conference on the evening of May 29 local time.

At the press conference, Jenny Sims, Deputy Chief Constable of Merseyside Police, said that the British Crown Prosecution Service had approved the police's request for the suspect to be formally prosecuted.

Due to the extremely serious nature of the crime, the British government has also approved Merseyside Police and the British Crown Prosecution Service to publish the personal information and appearance of the male suspect to the public.

Deputy Chief Constable Jenny revealed that the suspect is a 53-year-old male suspect named Paul Doyle who lives in the West Derby area of Liverpool.

According to the database of the British Labor Department, Doyle was a commander of the British Royal Navy and is currently an employee working at a local I.T. company.

In addition, according to the information from the British Companies House, Doyle once owned several companies, including a customer-specialized courier company, but these companies have now been deregistered.

Regarding Doyle's accusations, the police have withdrawn Doyle's drug charges, but maintained his multiple charges of attempted murder, dangerous driving, and causing serious bodily harm or life threats of others by violence.

The police and the British Crown Prosecution Service formally prosecuted Doyle under Section 18 of the Offences Against The Person Act 1861 and the Road Traffic Act 1988.

The police and the British Crown Prosecution Service have the right to arrest and pursue criminal responsibility for offenders on charges of obstruction of justice.

Liverpool held a celebration parade in Liverpool city center on May 26 after the club won the Premier League title in the 2024/25 season.

Since this was the first time that the Reds held a parade after winning the league title in 35 years, it attracted hundreds of millions of fans in red clothes to take to the streets to celebrate that day. Unexpectedly, this day that was originally a festive day became a regrettable day.

The horrific incident occurred at around 6 p.m. local time on May 26. The police initially revealed that the man involved was a 53-year-old white man living in Liverpool. The suspect has now been confirmed to be Doyle.

As the Liverpool trophy parade was coming to an end, Doyle followed an ambulance on patrol on Water Street in the city center, and suddenly crashed his dark blue Ford Galaxy into the Liverpool fans who were celebrating around the street for no reason.

During the process, more than 27 fans were hit by him, and several fans were hit and stucked under the car. Among the victims, 4 were children, and one of the 4 children was seriously injured and had to be sent to the intensive care unit of Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

Subsequently, nearly more than 10 adult fans who were at the scene also spontaneously went to the hospital for outpatient treatment, bringing the total number of Liverpool fans affected in this incident to 50. Fortunately, the incident did not cause any deaths.

In addition to the 50 fans mentioned above,  paramedic who was riding a bicycle to rescue injured fans at the scene was also hit because he could not dodge in time.

After receiving the report from Liverpool fans, the police quickly dispatched and arrived at the scene within 4 minutes. When the authorities arrived at the scene, many Liverpool fans had spontaneously helped the medical staff of the emergency unit to help the injured fans get on the ambulance, and several stronger fans, regardless of their own safety, spontaneously blocked the car of the suspect and tried to stop Doyle.

For this, the police were very grateful to the fans for their courageous behavior and hoped that these fans would not be hurt.

About half an hour later, Doyle was arrested by the police and an investigation was launched into his motives for committing the crime.
