This is CNN Breaking News.

Welcome to the lead. I'm Phil Mattingly in for Jake Tapper, and we begin with breaking news in our World League.

Scenes of chaos and destruction in Liverpool, England. U.K. police say a man has been arrested after driving a car through a crowd full of people.

This happened during the Liverpool Football Club's Premier League Victory Parade.

And in minutes, we expect to get an update from officials on the ground in Liverpool.

We're going to bring that to you live.

We start things off with CNN's Anna Stewart.

Anna, what are we learning about this incident?

This incident took place around four hours ago.

It was just after 6 o'clock p.m. here in the UK.

And as you say, there was a victory parade to celebrate Liverpool Football Club winning a Premier League title.

There were thousands, hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets.

And somehow a car was in the midst of it, and this car rammed into crowds of people.

Merseyside police have released a statement.

They say a 53-year-old white male has been arrested.

He is from the Liverpool area.

It's interesting we're actually getting this sort of description.

It's not necessarily particularly normal to give that level of description.

We believe perhaps this is to combat any speculation that this could be terror-related.

And the police are saying that they're asking people actually not to speculate on the circumstances

surrounding the incident.

It's unclear what the motive was or, of course, whether this was an accident.
