“Water Street is not a route where vehicles were supposed to be using it, it was blocked off.
“And the questions I suppose are legitimate, but we have to give the police the time to conclude their investigations, which is what they’re doing.”
Who is the suspect and why did he tailgate an ambulance?
Police have been granted an extension on the time limit for questioning him in custody until Wednesday lunchtime.
It is understood that detectives are carrying out “extensive” work to establish where the Ford Galaxy car came from before it tailgated the ambulance onto Water Street.
Footage appears to show people reacting angrily to the car being among the crowd on Water Street.
One video clip shows the driver holding down the horn before he speeds off into the crowd.
