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](https://inews.co.uk/news/everything-know-liverpool-parade-suspect-3717885?ico=in-line_link) city centre on Monday evening.
He has been charged with one count of dangerous driving, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and two counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent.
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.
Curious as to what him being a marine and father has to do with committing attempted mass murder
Why the hell did he do it?
Such a ridiculous thing to do.
Seriously curious as to why the police have asked for extra time to question him.
Surprised at the low number of charges given how many were hurt
Desperately depressing story on all fronts. Truly nothing positive about it.
Your headline correctly says he was a Royal Marine but the article incorrectly describes him as a “former soldier”.
This thread is genuinely a parody of itself at this point. Any other race but white would not remotely get the same grace you people are giving this.

Not looking forward to the riots this is going to cause.
Oh wait…never mind.
Army, maths and psychology… Yet works in IT?? Well thank goodness there is at least one job opening now. Should stick to his own field rather than taking up the space for IT graduates. Shows his greed, and foolish decision making, constantly jumping fields. He is also impatient and now a murderous, drug addict.
Then he felt the victim when people surrounded his car rather than realising he had driven into a parade.
Lucky there were cops about to stop the justice that mob could have handed him.
To me it looked blatantly obvious that the people who decided to attack this man’s car, have triggered the series of events. No one knows how they would react if a drunken mob tried to get into your car and you were unable to leave.
He should not have been there, but others have said that road was not actually closed.
There’s at least half a dozen more people involved in what seems to be a series of stupid people making stupid mistakes, which would individually lead to a few swear words but have compounded into seven dozen injured people – hopefully they all get dealt with just as harshly as him.
He made a silly mistake in the heat of the moment.
PTSD is going to be a defence I’d wager.
The lack of drunk/drug driving charge might be quite telling. Tests don’t take long, especially in something like this. Married with what some of the witnesses stated when he was dragged out of the car, acting ‘delirious’, the Police arresting him on suspicion of being under the influence.
Might be a psychotic episode.
Ah, he’s an ex royal marine, so here comes all the sympathy. Not his fault, etc
How many years in the army do you have to do before it’s ok to mow a bloody pram down?
POOR GUY
Ex royal marine? No wayyyyy!!!
The low IQs will have a melt down. Why would they release that info. They by didn’t they just say his name was Abu Makeitup or something and just show a random mugshot of an Asian guy?
Why would they ruin the fantasy and propaganda of the low IQs Tommytards and GBNews sheep????
Whyyyyyy!!?!!
Utter nut job.
Okay but WHY was he attempting to drive down closed roads??? Common sense surely should’ve kicked in
