Paul Doyle has been named by Merseyside Police and will appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Friday

A former Royal Marine has arrived at court where he will face charges over the Liverpool parade crash in which 79 people were injured.

Paul Doyle, 53, from Burghill Road in West Derby, was arrested on Monday, when a car ploughed into fans at Liverpool's Premier League victory celebration, Merseyside Police said.

A nine-year-old was among those hurt when the car hit ers on Water Street at 18:00 BST.

Mr Doyle, a local businessman and father of three, faces multiple counts of causing and attempting to cause unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent as well as one of dangerous driving and two of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent.

Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims, of Merseyside Police, told a news conference seven people remain in hospital after the incident.

The BBC has spoken to the suspect's neighbours, who said they were shocked and in "disbelief".

They said that Burghill Road was swarming with police in the hours after the crash.

One said: "I came out late on Monday night and there's police everywhere. Looking around all the houses, so I had a thought - imagine if it was him":[]}
