A Barking man has been charged with attempted murder after a car hit several pedestrians outside a Luton nightclub. Police believe Nardi Bytuyci, of Fenshawe Avenue, drove a Fiat 500 into a group of people near Chapel Street's Kumba Lounge just before 3.30am on Saturday (April 5).
Two men, both in their 30s, were treated in hospital for serious but non-life threatening injuries. Bytuyci was arrested at the scene and now faces two counts of attempted murder and one of drink-driving.
The 23-year-old was remanded into custody ahead of his appearance at Luton Magistrates' Court today (April 7). Detective Superintendent Aman Dhaliwal, of Bedfordshire Police, said: "On behalf of the force I would like to thank members of the public who swiftly tended to those injured in this collision.
"While we would always advise people to retreat to a safe place, call 999 and await police arrival, there is no doubt the actions of those at the scene prevented further harm."
A cordon remained in place for multiple hours following the early morning incident, with the busy road closed from the adjacent Flowers Way junction.
Anyone who witnessed or was involved in the collision is urged to contact Bedfordshire Police as soon as possible. Video footage and photos should also be uploaded to the force's online portal.
