Ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has spoken out about the serious incident that marred the club's Premier League title parade.

However, the day was ruined after a serious incident took place in the city centre at around 6pm.

Footage circulated on social media showing a car driving down Water Street in the city centre, striking down many supporters.

At the time, a police statement read: "We are currently dealing with reports of a road traffic collision in Liverpool city centre. We were contacted at just after 6pm today, Monday 26 May, following reports a car had been in collision with a number of pedestrians on Water Street.

"The car stopped at the scene and a male has been detained. Emergency services are currently on the scene. We will issue more updates as we have them."

Merseyside Police later confirmed that a 53-year-old white British man was arrested.

It was later revealed that 20 people were treated at the scene and out of the 27 taken to hospital, two suffered serious injuries.

Speaking to BBC News NI from the hospital, Jack Trotter, who was hit by the car when walking down Water Street with his girlfriend, Abbie Gallagher, said he was in 'absolute agony'.

On the back of the incident, Klopp took to social media to release a statement.

"You'll Never Walk Alone."


Leader of the Liverpool City Council, Liam Robinson, said during a press conference: "I would appeal for people please not to share the horrifying footage of the incident on social media - please if you have information forward it to Merseyside Police to help them with their investigation.

"We won't be commenting any further but will provide relevant updates as and when we know more and it is appropriate to."

He added: "Once again, our hearts go out to all those affected. Liverpool is a city that has a proud history of coming together and supporting each other during challenging times.

"I've no doubt that will again be the case over the coming days and weeks."
