A vehicle drove into a crowd on Monday during a parade celebrating Liverpool’s Premier League title win, according to emergency services.
Merseyside Police confirmed they received a call shortly after 6:00 pm (1700 GMT) reporting that a car had collided with several pedestrians.
“The car stopped at the scene and a male has been detained,” the force said in a statement.
An AFP journalist saw at least four people taken away on stretchers.
Social media footage appeared to show a dark-coloured car swerving into the dense crowd, at the end of jubilant celebrations as players showed off the trophy on an open-topped bus through the city.
Crowds and uniformed police officers quickly surrounded the vehicle, and several people who lay on the ground.
Cordons were then put in place and a fire engine was also at the scene.
North West Ambulance Service said its crews were “assessing the situation” with other emergency services.
“Our priority is to ensure people receive the medical help they need as quickly as possible,” a statement read.
