Four people injured in Liverpool parade named

Reporting restrictions have been lifted on naming four people injured when a car was driven into crowds at Liverpool's Premier League victory parade.

Paul Doyle, 53, has been charged with seven offences in connection with the incident on Water Street, which happened as thousands of fans were celebrating the football team's victory just after 6pm on 26 May.

He is accused of the unlawful wounding with intent of Simon Nash, 52, causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent to Susan Passey, 77, and Christine Seeckts, 66, and the attempted GBH of Ethan Gillard, 18.

A court order preventing the publication of their identities was put in place when Doyle first appeared before magistrates in Liverpool on Friday.

But on Tuesday, Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary KC lifted the restrictions, which had been made under Section 46 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.

Doyle is charged with another count of wounding with intent and a second count of attempted GBH, which both relate to children, for whom reporting restrictions remain in place.

He is also charged with dangerous driving.
