Liverpool parade accused faces 24 new prices

A man accused of deliberately driving into a crowd of fans at Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory parade has been charged with 24 new offences, including assault against two babies.

Paul Doyle appeared at Liverpool Crown Court over video-link from prison and became tearful as he was asked to confirm his identity.

He was due to enter pleas to the seven counts he originally faced, but the court heard the prosecution had introduced 24 new counts to the indictment.

Mr Doyle, of West Derby in Liverpool, was not asked to enter pleas to any charges after his barrister asked for more time to consider the new counts.
