A newly released timeline has shed light on the events surrounding Paul Doyle's attack during the Liverpool championship parade, an incident that has puzzled both investigators and the public. The timeline, compiled from multiple witness statements and surveillance footage, shows how Doyle's behavior escalated from seemingly normal participation in the celebrations to what the sentencing judge described as an 'incomprehensible' act of violence. The incident occurred during Liverpool's Premier League title celebration parade in June 2024, where millions gathered to honor the team's achievement. According to the timeline, Doyle was initially seen enjoying the festivities with friends before his demeanor changed dramatically in the early afternoon. Witnesses reported that Doyle appeared increasingly agitated in the hours leading up to the attack, though no clear trigger has been identified. The timeline confirms that the assault was unprovoked and targeted multiple victims who were participating peacefully in the celebration. During sentencing, the judge emphasized the random nature of the attack and the significant impact it had on the victims and the wider community. Mental health experts who testified during the trial suggested that Doyle may have been experiencing a temporary psychotic episode, though no definitive diagnosis was reached. The release of this timeline has reignited discussions about crowd safety measures during large-scale public events.
