4:40Now PlayingA car driven through crowds at Liverpool's Premier League victory parade injured 47 people, and led to the arrest of a 53-year-old man.
Speculation about the suspect's religion and race spread rapidly on social media, before it was mostly snuffed out by the police revealing the man was a white Brit from Merseyside.
The MP for Liverpool West Derby, Ian Byrne (00:00), and Mayor Steve Rotheram (02:59) join Shelagh Fogarty to discuss.
The driver has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving, dangerous driving and attempted murder.
11 people remain in hospital in a stable condition after the car was driven into people attending Liverpool FC victory parade after their Premier League win.
Police confirmed the driver was able to follow an ambulance after a road block was temporarily lifted.
The road block on Water Street was lifted so the ambulance could help someone suspected of having heart attack, Merseyside Police said in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
The 53-year-old white British man from West Derby has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs.
The incident is not being treated as terrorism.
