LONDON: A British man on Wednesday pleaded guilty to 31 criminal charges over the incident in which a car plowed into a crowd of Liverpool football fans during May’s Premier League title victory parade.
Paul Doyle, 53, sobbed in the dock at Liverpool Crown Court as he changed his pleas to guilty to offenses including causing grievous bodily harm with intent, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and dangerous driving.
He had pleaded not guilty in September and was due to stand trial starting on Wednesday.
The incident took place on May 26 in Liverpool’s packed city center as about a million people came out to celebrate Liverpool’s title win and watch an open-top bus parade featuring the team and its staff with the Premier League trophy.
