This comes amidst a time of increasing terror alerts across Europe and the United States after Friday night's Coalition strikes in Syria, where the intelligence community has warned of a potential response from “sleeper cells” across the globe.
Blackpool Police said the attack occurred around midnight, with responding officers searching nearby clubs and businesses for any additional threats, although it appears this is the cause of a drunken driver, who is a 19-year-old male now in custody.
Eyewitness reports have said numerous victims are on the ground injured severely, although the total number of victims is yet to be confirmed by any official agency.

A spokesperson for the Lancashire Police said, "Our officers in Blackpool are investigating an incident involving what is believed to be a drunken driver who has collided with a number of pedestrians in the town center.”
“The vehicle has been located and recovered and our inquiries are now focusing on arresting the driver and supporting the injured pedestrians,” law enforcement continued. "Thankfully, no persons have been reported having serious injuries. The investigation is being coordinated locally and is not linked to any terrorist act.”
Officials are however asking for anyone with video of the attack, or who may have seen the suspect to contact Lancashire Police on telephone number 101 and quote “log 1862 of 14th April,” when making your report.
This is still a breaking story, we will update with any relevant information.
