held back tears as he appeared at today after being charged with seven offences by Merseyside Police. 79 people were injured at Liverpool FC's Premier League title parade on Monday, after a car ploughed into a crowd. District Judge Paul Healey decided during Magistrates' Court proceedings that the media cannot report the names of the adults included on the charge sheet, whom Doyle is accused of intending to wound or grievously harm. A further hearing is due, during which this restriction will be discussed. Two children, aged 11 and 17, will continue to be nameless.

More than 50 people were treated in the following the incident. The youngest victim was nine years old, and the oldest was 78. Doyle, a former Royal Marine from West Derby, has been charged with 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, two counts of attempted unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and one count of dangerous driving.
