A man accused of driving into crowds at Liverpool’s Premier League title parade has pleaded not guilty to 31 offences.
Paul Doyle, 53, appeared via videolink from prison at Liverpool Crown Court for a plea hearing on Thursday.
He entered not guilty pleas to dangerous driving, affray, 18 charges of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, nine counts of causing GBH with intent and two counts of wounding with intent.
The defendant, wearing glasses and a grey T-shirt, appeared to be looking at papers as the charges were read to him.
He shook his head at points during the arraignment.
The allegations relate to 29 victims, aged between six months and 77 years.
Merseyside Police previously said 134 people were injured when Doyle allegedly drove his Ford Galaxy Titanium into crowds on Water Street in the city centre just after 6 p.m. BST on May 26.
Doyle was originally charged with seven offences but 24 new counts were added to the indictment at a hearing last month.
