00:00How the Liverpool car ramming sparked false claims and misinformation.
00:07This is the moment just before a car ploughed through the crowd
00:12during Liverpool Football Club's Premier League victory parade last Monday.
00:16Within just three hours, police said that a 53-year-old white British man had been arrested
00:22in an attempt to stamp out speculation.
00:26Despite this, false claims about the nature of the attack and the identity of the driver
00:31spread rapidly online.
00:33Posts shared later that evening on social media claimed to show another man
00:37who was purportedly the real driver of the vehicle.
00:40The claims were amplified across platforms and have been viewed millions of times.
00:46But this is false.
00:48Merseyside police have confirmed that the man in this photo isn't the suspect.
00:53The screenshot of the man matches this TikTok video shared from the Liverpool parade.
00:59He can be seen joking around, entering the police car and wearing a policeman's hat.
01:04TikTok users point out in the comments that he's being falsely signalled as the driver
01:09in other social media posts.
01:12Another video from the scene of the incident shows a man struggling with police on the ground.
01:17This Facebook post falsely claims that this man is the 53-year-old detained by police
01:23and that the driver of the vehicle is a different person, suggesting the suspect is still at large.
01:29Merseyside police have also refuted these claims, saying just one man was arrested
01:35and that he isn't the man shown in this video.
01:39These false claims have spread virally, fueling speculation and confusion.
01:44Authorities say they communicated quickly in order to fill the information void with the truth
01:50and to debunk these unfounded theories.
