The alleged driver of a car that ploughed into a crowd at Liverpool's victory parade has been charged with offences including wounding and causing grievous bodily harm against six victims.
Paul Doyle, 53, is accused of seven offences following the incident on Water Street in the city centre on Monday, which resulted in 79 people suffering injuries.
The Crown Prosecution Service said he is accused of two counts of wounding with intent, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and one count of dangerous driving.
A wounding charge and an attempted grievous bodily harm charge relate to a child.

The CPS said the charges would be kept "under review as the investigation progresses".
In a statement issued to reporters, chief crown prosecutor for CPS Mersey-Cheshire, Sarah Hammond, said: "The investigation is at an early stage.

"This includes multiple pieces of video footage and numerous witness statements.
"It is important to ensure every victim gets the justice they deserve."
