Ex-Royal Marine dad-of-three charged after 79 injured at Liverpool parade ...Middle East

The man suspected of injuring 79 people when a car mowed down fans at Liverpool’s title parade has been charged with seven offences.

Paul Doyle, 53, a businessman and former soldier, was arrested at the scene after a Ford Galaxy people carrier collided with dozens of supporters in Liverpool city centre on Monday evening.

He has been charged with one count of dangerous driving, two counts of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, two counts of causing unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and two counts of attempted unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

He will appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ court on Friday.

A nine-year-old was among those injured, police said, while the oldest person injured was 78. They were all understood to be British.

Police were twice given extra time to question Doyle, who has been remanded into custody.

At his home on Wednesday, neighbours were shocked to learn of his arrest.

“He seemed a nice man, very outgoing,” one told The i Paper.

Doyle, an IT specialist and father of three children, lives with his wife, a teacher, in a four-bed detached suburban property in Liverpool.

According to his LinkedIn profile, he served a four-year stint as a Royal Commado in the British Army between 1990 and 1994, starting when he was 18-years-old. The Ministry of Defence has been contacted for comment.

After leaving the Army, Doyle went to the University of Liverpool earning a degree in Psychology and Maths before forging a career in IT services.

From 2017 to 2023, he claims to have worked at investment firm Rathbones Group, as a group cyber security manager.

The company is a leading provider of individual wealth management, asset management, providing services to private clients, charities and trustees.

A former colleague who worked for him for a year told The i Paper he was “very understanding and good to work for”. It is not known why he left that job.

According to Doyle’s profile, he currently works as an “acting head of cyber” and promotes himself as an “ethical hacker” available for hire.

In 2017, Doyle launched a business selling headwear that he appears to have designed himself.

It was dissolved in 2020 but an Instagram account for the business remains active which shows what appears to be photos of Doyle snowboarding in the Alps as recently as March this year.

Social media profiles show he had keen interest in travelling and fitness, having visited countries across the world including Australia, India and Fiji. He appears to have recently travelled to Dubai on a luxury holiday with family, including taking a helicopter tour.

Neighbours said police had been stationed outside the family home since Tuesday morning but that there doesn’t appear to have been any major activity inside.

Neighbours described Doyle as “very outgoing”.

On Wednesday, a police van was parked outside the house and there was no answer at the door.

“They just seemed like a normal family,” another neighbour said.

“I’m shocked, no one’s any bother round here.”

Doyle was described as being a keen cyclist who used his bike to travel to work every day.

The incident unfolded between Dale Street and Water Street in the city centre, a road which was closed to cars during Liverpool’s Premier League victory parade.

Footage captured the moment the Ford Galaxy knocked over fans who had gathered to celebrate.

Seven people remain in hospital in a stable condition following the incident, while the number of injured had climbed to at least 79 people, police said in an update on Wednesday.

Four children were among those injured in the incident just after 6pm.

Police believe the car which struck pedestrians was able to follow an ambulance crew attending to someone suffering a heart attack after a road block was temporarily lifted.

A force spokesman said there was a partial closure in place on Dale Street – which leads into Water Street – between North John Street and Exchange Street.

Traffic was filtered down Exchange Street to stop vehicles getting onto Water Street and a flatbed truck and traffic cones were used as a barrier, the spokesman said.

Water Street leads onto The Strand, where hundreds of thousands of fans gathered to see the Liverpool team bus pass.

Police have not revealed which drug the arrested man was suspected of taking, saying: “We wouldn’t go into this detail at this stage of the investigation.”
