The police have been given more time to question a 53-year-old man who was suspected of injuring nearly 80 people during a car-ramming attack during the Liverpool title celebrations on Monday.
The Merseyside police released an update on Wednesday in which they also revised the number of injuries in the attack to 79, after identifying 14 “more people who were injured.”
Seven people stay in a stable state in the hospital.
The armed forces said that the man who comes from the West derby area of ​​the city can be questioned until Thursday after he was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous row -violations and driving while unsuitable by drugs.
The area where the collision took place, Water Street, has since been opened again for traffic and pedestrians after a police Cordon had been lifted.
“I am happy to be able to say that the number of people will end in the hospital if they continue to recover from the terrible incident,” said Detective head inspector Rachel Wilson.
“We continue to support that are still being treated and as part of our constant questions we identify more people who have been injured.
“I want to reassure the public of Merseyside that detectives make significant progress when determining the full circumstances that led to what happened.
“In addition, extensive CCTV questions are carried out in the city to establish the movements of the car, a Ford Galaxy, before the incident took place.
“We have already had an incredible response from many of those who were there, and I thank them for their collaboration with our research.
“I would encourage everyone who has not yet contacted the police who may have information about this incident.
“An extensive investigation into the precise circumstances of the incident is underway and we continue to ask people not to speculate about the circumstances surrounding the incident and to refrain from sharing painful content online.”
