The British police have disclosed the full identity of the driver who drove into a crowd of football fans in Liverpool last Monday during their celebration of the Premier League title victory. The individual is Paul Doyle, aged 53, who resides in the West Derby neighborhood. He is a former member of the Royal Marines and a father to three children.

According to the Daily Mail, Doyle agreed to transport a friend to the city center, unexpectedly finding himself engulfed by a sea of people. “He tried to escape the situation and panicked,” recounted another friend who spoke to the newspaper. “The crowd shattered his window, attempted to enter the vehicle, and grabbed him by the neck,” he added.

The incident left 79 individuals injured, with varying degrees of severity, including a nine-year-old child and another victim aged 78, as reported by the police on Thursday. Seven victims remain hospitalized.

Doyle, who manages a small business not specified by authorities, will appear in court for the first time this Friday after being held for nearly 96 hours and questioned by police. He faces charges of seven counts of bodily harm and dangerous driving.

Investigators have meticulously examined a “substantial volume” of video footage, sourced both from security cameras on Water Street, the central street in Liverpool where the incident occurred, and from mobile phone recordings of many present.

The charges against Doyle will undergo continuous review as all available footage is analyzed, stated Sarah Hammond, the prosecutor in charge of the case. “It is crucial to ensure that all victims receive the justice they deserve,” she emphasized.

Just two hours post-incident, Liverpool police released some details about the detainee to curb social media speculation: “White, British, and aged 53,” they noted.

The memory of last summer in Southport still lingers, when concealing the identity of the assailant who fatally stabbed three girls and injured another ten fueled conspiracy and xenophobic theories, prompting thousands of extremists across England into action.
