Former Royal Marine in Court for Liverpool Car Ramming Incident
Paul Doyle faces multiple charges for deliberately driving into a crowd celebrating Liverpool F.C.'s Premier League victory, injuring 79 individuals.
**Summary**
Paul Doyle has been charged with seven offenses, including causing grievous bodily harm, after allegedly hitting a crowd during Liverpool's victory parade, injuring dozens including children. A trial date has been set for November as the investigation continues.
A 53-year-old man appeared in a Liverpool court on Friday, facing significant charges after allegedly driving his vehicle into a crowd during the celebrations of Liverpool Football Club's recent Premier League victory. Paul Doyle, a father of three and described as a former Royal Marine, was charged with multiple offenses, including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
The incident occurred on Monday evening as thousands filled the streets for the parade. According to the police, 79 people were injured, with at least 50 needing hospital treatment; among the injured were four children, the youngest being just nine years old. Jurisdictional restrictions have been placed on identifying victims due to the ongoing investigation.
During the court proceedings, Doyle appeared visibly emotional as he confirmed his identity. Prosecutors allege he deliberately drove into the crowd as attendees were dispersing. A preliminary hearing at Liverpool Crown Court has set a trial date for November 24, with an earlier plea hearing scheduled for August 14.
The judge directed that Doyle remains in custody ahead of these upcoming dates. Reports reveal he was formerly associated with the British Navy's elite Royal Marines and previously ran a retail business that closed down in 2020.
Sarah Hammond, the chief prosecutor, mentioned that the case remains dynamic, with further charges possibly being added as investigations continue, including reviewing extensive evidence such as video recordings and numerous eyewitness testimonies.
