Merseyside Police said officers were made aware of a large gathering in the area of Concert Square and Fleet Street at 10pm on Tuesday, as bars in the area closed.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Videos circulated on social media showing large numbers of people dancing outside bars, with no social distancing.</p>
<p>A police spokesman said: “Officers were deployed to the area immediately and a large crowd was dispersed quickly and safely.</p>
<p>“All businesses in the area have now closed and the incident has been stood down.”<br />
In footage of the incident apparently filmed from a nearby flat, a police car could be seen driving through a crowd while revellers banged their hands on the side of the vehicle.</p>

<p>From today, Liverpool and the neighbouring five boroughs which make up the city region will be under Tier 3 coronavirus measures, which include the closure of bars, pubs which do not serve meals, gyms, betting shops and casinos.</p>

<p>Chief Superintendent Peter Costello said: “While we understand how the new rules which are due to be implemented on Wednesday are frustrating for some, we would continue to advise everyone to abide by them – including keeping social distancing – for the safety of everyone.”</p>
<p>Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey told Times Radio she was “saddened” by the pictures.<br />
She said: “I grew up in Liverpool. I know it is a great city. But frankly it is irresponsible behaviour.</p>
<p>“We are trying to help the city… I’m sure the mayor may want to consider more (measures) while we are also providing financial support.”<br />
Other parts of the city appeared quiet as bar staff pulled their final pints ahead of the 10pm curfew.<br />
City centre councillor Nick Small wrote on Twitter: “Idiots putting themselves, their friends, families and everyone else at risk, destroying jobs and our hospitality sector while they do it.”</p>
