But soon after, a car ploughed through crowds gathered on Water Street, leaving 27 needing hospital treatment and at least two seriously injured.
A 53-year-old white male from the Liverpool area was detained and police are investigating the incident, including how a car was able to drive into an area pedestrianised for the event.
