Police have been given extra time to question a man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a car ploughed into football fans during Liverpool's Premier League victory parade. Seven people remain in hospital and 79 casualties have been identified by police after the incident involving a Ford Galaxy on Water Street shortly after 18:00 BST on Monday. Merseyside Police said it had been given more time to question a 53-year-old man from the West Derby area. He was also detained on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs. The force said the vehicle had followed an ambulance, which had been responding to reports of someone having a heart attack, into the road. Officers confirmed they had been granted further time to continue questioning the suspect until Thursday. Det Supt Rachel Wilson said: "I'm pleased to say the number of people in hospital is reducing as they continue to recover from the awful incident." Hundreds of thousands of jubilant Liverpool fans packed the city centre on Bank Holiday Monday and lined the 10-mile (16km) parade route as the Reds celebrated winning their second Premier League crown and 20th top-flight league title.
