Seven individuals remain hospitalized. Police have been granted additional time to question a 53-year-old suspect. The incident has shocked the city, and the Prime Minister met with police officials to discuss the ongoing investigation. "The roads that were cordoned off by police are now open, but with small signs that things are not the same," reported ITV News correspondent Stacey Foster. Witness Matty Kmiecik described the scene: "The ambulance was literally there. There was a man just lying there. Paramedics around him and police trying to get him up and he was just lifeless." The head coach of Liverpool FC, Arne Slot, withdrew from an awards ceremony in solidarity with the victims. He stated, "This is not a decision I have taken lightly but it is one that I feel is absolutely right given the seriousness of the situation." Police continue their investigation and are appealing for more witnesses to come forward.
