A festive atmosphere suddenly turned into chaos in Liverpool, England. While fans were celebrating, tragedy struck. Liverpool Football Club had just secured their 20th Premier League title and was holding grand celebrations. The team and staff paraded through the city center on an open-top bus with the trophy. Thousands of fans had gathered to witness the victory parade.

The jubilant celebrations turned into panic when a car suddenly sped through the crowd, hitting several fans. People were thrown into the air, and visuals of the incident quickly went viral on social media. A total of 27 people were injured, with one child in critical condition, according to police. Angry fans tried to break the car windows and attack the driver, but police intervened and took the driver into custody. The accused is a 53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area. Police dismissed rumors on social media that it was a terrorist attack, clarifying that there was no Islamic extremist involvement. Firefighters rescued four people trapped in the vehicle, and eyewitnesses said the accident occurred just 10 minutes after Liverpool's team bus had passed.

Police claims ruling out terror links have sparked criticism. Last year, three young women were murdered in the nearby town of Southport, leading to several days of unrest. There is now speculation on social media about the identity of the attacker, but police have once again dismissed it as a non-terror-related incident. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer reacted on X (formerly Twitter), calling the incident extremely horrifying and expressing that his thoughts are with the injured.
