The two sides of Liverpool parade attacker Paul Doyle

Paul Doyle was jailed for 21 years for injuring 134 people at Liverpool FC's parade; bystander Daniel Barr stopped the car, preventing more harm, police said.

  • On Tuesday, the court sentenced Paul Doyle, 54-year-old father of three, to 21 years and six months at Liverpool Crown Court after he admitted 31 offences.
  • At the Liverpool FC victory parade on May 26, 2025, prosecutors said Doyle 'lost his temper' and used his car as a weapon on Water Street, injuring 134 people.
  • Dan Barr, a 41-year-old former soldier, climbed into the back of the two-tonne Ford Galaxy and forced the automatic gear into park, then pressed Doyle's seatbelt release as bystanders restrained the driver.
  • Authorities said Barr's intervention, with Detective Chief Inspector John Fitzgerald noting lives would have been lost without him, earned him a High Sheriff's Award and �250.
  • Doyle's background highlights his 30 years without trouble despite an explosive temper, and victims included Ukrainian war refugee Anna Bilonozhenko and Manchester Arena bombing survivor Francesca Massey.
