The suspect in the car ramming that injured dozens of fans celebrating Liverpool\u2019s Premier League title on Monday has appeared in court after police charged him with a range of offenses. <\/p>\n
Paul Doyle, a 53-year-old man from the outskirts of the city in northwest England, spoke to confirm his name during his first hearing on Friday. <\/p>\n
Doyle, dressed in a black suit, looked emotional as he was brought into the courtroom from his cell, according to a PA Media reporter following proceedings. <\/p>\n
The UK\u2019s Crown Prosecution Service authorized several charges against the father-of-three on Thursday, including dangerous driving, causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, wounding with intent to cause GBH, and attempted GBH. <\/p>\n
The incident, which saw a car veer across a packed street in the center of Liverpool and plough through crowds of supporters, shocked the city and the football world. <\/p>\n
Police previously said the car that struck pedestrians was able to enter Water Street, which was closed off to vehicles, by following an ambulance. A total of 79 victims were injured in the crash, of whom seven remain in hospital, police said on Thursday. <\/p>\n
Doyle\u2019s charges will be kept under review as police investigations continue, Sarah Hammond, chief crown prosecutor for CPS Mersey-Cheshire, said in a statement Thursday. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe investigation is at an early stage. Prosecutors and police are continuing to work at pace to review a huge volume of evidence,\u201d Hammond said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis includes multiple pieces of video footage and numerous witness statements. It is important to ensure every victim gets the justice they deserve,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
