A nine-year-old was the youngest victim injured when a car was driven into crowds at Liverpool’s victory parade, police said, as they continue to question a suspect.

Merseyside Police confirmed the age of the victims hurt in the incident on Water Street on Monday ranged from nine to 78.

The force has until Thursday evening to question a 53-year-old man, from West Derby, Liverpool, who is in custody after he was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and drug driving.

On Wednesday, police said seven people remained in hospital in a stable condition, while 79 people in total had been injured when the car crashed into Liverpool fans.

The drug the 53-year-old was suspected of taking has not been revealed by police.

A force spokesman said: “We wouldn’t go into this detail at this stage of the investigation.”

Police believe the car, which struck pedestrians, followed an ambulance attending to someone suffering a heart attack after a road block was temporarily lifted.

A force spokesman said there was a partial closure in place on Dale Street – which leads into Water Street – between North John Street and Exchange Street.
