Not much information available right now, but having seen footage online, it looks 100% deliberate and I would be very surprised if there are no fatalities.
Absolutely horrendous, imagine having a day of happiness and celebration turn into abject horror. Credit to the fans who managed to surround the vehicle to prevent it doing anymore damage and for the emergency services for responding very quickly, or it could have been even worse.
My heart goes out to all the friends and family affected, as well as all Liverpool fans.

There is no way of stopping these types of attacks which are getting more common and my worry is when they start doing it in provincial towns with a massive lack of police response.
Heart goes out to everyone affected. Absolutely disgusting.
Hideous.
It's definitely a recent phenomenon, and I wish there was more available to stop them from happening.
Awful footage on X.
Can we not though refer to it as a 'probable terrorist attack', as not much information has been released, other than the police saying that a 53 year old white British man has been arrested.
Yes the heading of this thread needs to be altered. Very much jumping to conclusions by the opening poster with no shred of evidence.
After the rioting that followed the Southport stabbings, it's no wonder that the police were quick to release the details of the chap they arrested.
Poor choice of words for the OP headline.
Having seen the footage, it was done deliberately and not accidentally. Maybe "terrorism" isn't the 100% right word, but it was done deliberately.
‘Maybe’ ‘Maybe’??? It’s bloody 100% not the right word. It’s the type of word that spreads like wildfire, a word that’s likely to bring meatheads & knuckledraggers out of the woodwork wanting to believe it. Think first before putting potential lies online.
Changed now, which is sensible
Local white male 52 yrs old,why ?
For all we know at the moment, the driver could have had a panic attack, or a heart attack or some other medical reason for what happened. He may have mental problems, or he might just have lost his mind completely. What ever the reason, it’s absolutely tragic for the victims and witnesses.
It will all become clear soon enough, but the way people just jump to conclusions when something like this happens, is both naďve and potentially dangerous.
Don't think he's the driver. Think the police arrested him for assaulting the driver.
Absolutely awful. I guess thes huge parades are really susceptible to it, but it looked like it was well in the city centre so should surely have been totally cordoned off?
What has led you to that conclusion?
Just what's being said on Liverpool Echo Facebook stuff.
And BBC saying now the police didn't say it was the driver who was arrested.

It was the driver who's been arrested. Just said in the press conference.
He was the driver.
Take it back. Police doing a press conference now and say they suspect he is the driver. Not being treated as terrorism. No deaths thankfully
Apologises for jumping the gun on assuming terrorism. Just thought enough lined up to assume as such, but I was incorrect.
Thank goodness it seems there are no fatalities.
Slow your horses Jim, as balanced and nuanced as you like to make out, you don't half dive in. Facebook.......
2 seriously injured, 1 of them a child.
Hardly. Said what the BBC said and then corrected myself.
Wow.
Where on earth do you get your information from?! Bonkers.
