On May 26, 2025, during Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade on Water Street, a 53-year-old white British man drove a grey Ford Galaxy into a crowd, injuring 47 people, including four children. Twenty-seven were hospitalized, with two in critical condition. Four individuals, among them a child, were trapped beneath the vehicle and later rescued. Witnesses described scenes of chaos as the car accelerated into the crowd. Police arrested the driver at the scene, treating the incident as isolated and not terror-related. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Liverpool FC expressed sympathies, urging the public to avoid speculation as investigations continue. The incident occurred shortly after the parade had passed the area.
