"Merseyside Police said 134 people were injured when Mr Doyle allegedly drove his Ford Galaxy Titanium into crowds who were leaving after the city centre parade in May. Hundreds of fans were leaving the waterfront victory parade when the incident occurred on Water Street just after 6pm on 26 May. Up to a million supporters had gathered to celebrate Liverpool's 20th league title in a 10-mile parade in the city."
"Paul Doyle, 53, appeared via video link from prison wearing a grey t-shirt on Thursday as he entered the not guilty pleas at Liverpool Crown Court to allegations relating to 29 victims, aged between six months and 77 years. Mr Doyle, of Croxteth, Liverpool, is charged with 18 counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, nine counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of wounding with intent, one count of dangerous driving and one count of affray."
"The suspect was arrested at the scene, where fire crews worked to rescue several people who were trapped under the car and dozens were taken to the hospital for treatment. It is alleged that Mr Doyle, who has been remanded in custody, drove dangerously on roads between his home address in Burghill Road and Water Street. At his first court appearance, Liverpool Magistrates' Court heard he was alleged to have "used his vehicle deliberately as a weapon"."
