An unusual decision about Merseyside police publicly released the nation (White) and nationality (UK) of the car drivers allegedly loaded into football fans during a Premier League victory parade at Liverpool on Monday.

Merseyside police said they arrested a 53-year-old white British man about two hours after the incident, which caused dozens of people, including four children, injured.

The decision shows that lessons may have been learned after the Southport attack last year, when speculation that the identity of the suspect behind the stabbing was rampant on social media and filled gaps left by Merseyside police, which released a handful of details about the 17-year-old in their custody.

Often, when a suspect is arrested, police forces in England and Wales only reveal the person’s age and where he was arrested.
