LONDON (Reuters)
British police said they were responding to reports of a car hitting a "number of pedestrians" during soccer side Liverpool's Premier League title celebrations in the city centre on Monday.
An unverified video on social media purporting to show the incident showed a large grey car driving into large crowds of fans lining the street, at one point appearing to swerve away from the most densely crowded area.
Large numbers of police surrounded the vehicle shortly afterwards. Some people were pictured lying in the road.
Police said in a statement that the car had stopped at the scene and a male had been detained.
"Emergency services are currently on the scene," they said.
A Reuters photographer said multiple ambulances were in the street, with a tent erected by nearby fire engines.
