"Doyle used a car as a "weapon" to plough through more than 100 people at Liverpool's Premier League title celebrations. Prosecutors said he flew into a "rage" on May 26 - with horrific dashcam footage showing him shout "move", "f****** pricks" and "get out the f****** way" as he drove through the crowds. On Tuesday, some of his victims spoke of their suffering following his "spine-chilling" rampage, with one telling him: "Don't sit in the dock and cry for yourself.""
"When he was interviewed by police earlier this year about the incident in which he bit a man's ear off, he said he had become involved in a drunken fight with sailors. The court heard Doyle also punched another person in the face several times, leading to him being convicted of a section 20 assault and being fined by Exeter Magistrates' Court."
"His convictions for serious violence came between the ages of 18 and 22, with Mr Greaney saying: "The prosecution recognises that in the 30 years between his release from prison in May 1995 and his dreadful actions on May 26 2025, the defendant had taken steps to live a positive and productive life." Doyle cried as Mr Greaney added: "Those efforts to rehabilitate himself after a difficult early adulthood only serve to make more shocking and tragic what he did in Liverpool that day this May.""
Doyle drove a car through crowds at Liverpool's Premier League title celebrations on May 26, injuring more than 100 people while shouting abusive commands captured on dashcam. Victims described suffering and trauma, with one urging him to take responsibility rather than express remorse. Prosecutors outlined a violent past including a drunken fight in which he bit a man's ear, multiple assaults leading to a section 20 conviction and a military offence for violence to a superior officer during Royal Marines training. His serious violence convictions occurred between ages 18 and 22, and the prosecution noted later rehabilitative efforts that make his May actions more shocking. Doyle cried during the Liverpool Crown Court hearing.
