Police make desperate plea over liverpool parade after suspect named

THE DRIVER IN THE LIVERPOOL PARADE ATTACK HAS BEEN NAMED AND PICTURED – BUT POLICE OFFICIALS WERE QUICK TO MAKE A PLEA WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT INTERFERING WITH THE INVESTIGATION 20:29, 29 May

2025 Suspect Paul Doyle has been identified by police after the Liverpool parade attack, with authorities releasing a stark warning during a conference. Police have begged the public to stop

false speculations online while the authorities deal with the case. Currently, Doyle has been charged with one count of dangerous driving alongside two counts each of causing GBH with

intent, wounding with intent to cause GBH and attempting to cause GBH with intent. Merseyside Police assistant chief constable Jenny Sims laid out the charges at a press conference today

(May 29), and was quick to emphasise a point – the public should hold back from speculating. She said: "As always, our thoughts remain with all of those injured and affected by this

appalling incident, which took place during the Liverpool Football Club parade on Monday. As you have heard from our CPS colleagues, the man arrested by Merseyside Police following the

incident on Water Street has now been charged with seven serious offences. "I fully understand how this incident has left us all shocked and saddened, and I know many will continue to

have concerns and questions. "Our detectives are working tirelessly, with diligence and professionalism to seek the answer to all of those questions. When we are able to we will provide

further information." Chief Crown Prosecutor for the CPS Mersey-Cheshire Sarah Hammond said the investigation was still "at an early stage". Adding to this she begged

listeners to ensure the investigation is not interfered with. "Prosecutors and police are continuing to work at pace to review a huge volume of evidence," she said. "This

includes multiple pieces of video footage and numerous witness statements. It is important to ensure that every victim gets the justice they deserve." Ms Hammond warned criminal

proceedings against the defendant are active and he has the right to a fair trial and said there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information or media online which could in

any way prejudice the proceedings. She said: "Please allow the legal process to take its course without undue speculation." The force also urged anyone with any information to come

forward, to aid their investigation. Previously, Merseyside Police were quick to quell speculation about the suspect's ethnicity soon after the horror collision. The force confirmed it

had arrested a white British man, 53, just hours after the incident in an "unprecedented" step. Article continues below Police rarely release specific information until after a

suspect is charged, but experts have praised the force for dampening social media speculation about the suspect's identity. Last year, false information spread online in the aftermath

of the Southport stabbing horror led to major unrest which saw Mosques and asylum seeker hotels attacked. _FOR THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS AND STORIES FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE FROM THE DAILY STAR,
