Parade Crash Driver Paul Doyle Bit Sailor’s Ear Off in Drunken Fight
Paul Doyle, who injured over 100 people at Liverpool's title parade, was jailed in 1994 for biting a man's ear during a drunken fight, court heard.
- On May 26, Paul Doyle drove a Ford Galaxy into crowds on Water Street shortly after 6pm, injuring more than 100 pedestrians and shouting as he drove, prosecutors said.
- Court documents detail an earlier conviction from July 1993 when Doyle bit off part of a man's ear after a drunken fight with sailors, leading to a jail term.
- Prosecutors read statements from 78 victims, including a mother describing her six‑month‑old's pram being struck, and 50 people requiring hospital treatment, Doyle said.
- Doyle pleaded guilty to 31 offences relating to the victory parade and is being sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court, admitting charges including 17 attempting GBH and counts of causing GBH and wounding with intent.
- The court heard details of his military record, showing a Services No Longer Required discharge after 22 months and 30 years of rehabilitation following earlier convictions between ages 18 and 22.
