Liverpool: A car rammed into a packed crowd celebrating Liverpool's Premier League title victory on Monday leaving 27 people hospitalised, but police said they were ruling out terrorism.
"We believe this to be an isolated incident, and we are not currently looking for anyone else in relation to it," Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims told a press conference, adding a 53-year-old white British man had been arrested.
"The incident is not being treated as terrorism," she added.
Some 27 football fans were hospitalised, including two who were seriously injured, after a dark-coloured vehicle swerved through the huge crowds hitting people in its path, minutes after the players' open-topped bus passed by.
Four children were among those hurt, including one seriously.
