Police have confirmed further details about the man detained at the scene of a major incident at Liverpool's Premier League title parade.

On Monday night, the Reds' 20th league title celebrations were overshadowed by a horrific incident in the city centre as footage showed a number of supporters being mowed down by a black car on Water Street.

Emergency services were quick on the scene in the form of ambulances, police vans and an air ambulance.

As further information was released and eyewitnesses described what they saw, police confirmed the individual arrested is a 53-year-old white British man who lives locally.

Revealing enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances, they also asked for the public to not speculate and send over any useful footage to the service or Crimestoppers.

"We would ask people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding tonight’s incident on Water Street in Liverpool city centre," the statement from a spokesperson read.
