Paul Doyle, the suspect behind Monday's car ramming in Liverpool, has been remanded in custody.

The father-of-three had appeared in court earlier on Friday charged with seven offences over the chaos, which saw 79 people sustain injuries as crowds gathered in the city for Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade.

His charges include 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.

The ages of those injured in the ramming range from nine to 78, and all 79 are British.

A wounding charge and an attempted grievous bodily harm charge relate to a child.

The 53-year-old, wearing a black suit, white shirt and grey tie, was visibly emotional as he arrived at Liverpool Magistrates' Court this morning.

Doyle gave no indication of pleas when his charges were read to the court.

The court was also told that all of the offences apart from the dangerous driving charge could only be dealt with in a Crown Court.

District Judge Paul Healey sent the case to Liverpool Crown Court, in the same building as the magistrates' court, where Doyle will appear this afternoon.

Assistant Chief Constable of Merseyside Police Jenny Sims said on Thursday: "I fully understand how this incident has left us all shocked and saddened, and I know many will continue to have concerns and questions.

"Our detectives are working tirelessly, with diligence and professionalism, to seek the answer to all of those questions.

"When we are able to, we will provide further information."
