A man has been charged with attempted murder after five people were hit with a car in Arnold, Nottinghamshire.

A Vauxhall Astra mounted the kerb and struck the group at around 1:10am on Saturday (9 May).

One man is still in a serious condition in hospital.

It is not being treated as terrorism.

Duane Anthony, 40, of Marton Road Chilwell, is accused of five counts of attempted murder and is due at Nottingham Magistrates Court today.

Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, who is leading the investigation for Nottinghamshire Police, said: “As we share today’s news, our thoughts remain with those affected by this incident, in particular the man who sustained life-threatening injuries.

“The victims and their families have been updated on today’s charging decision, which we hope will provide some small degree of comfort at this difficult time.

“This was a shocking incident that will have been incredibly distressing for all those involved and anyone who witnessed it happen.

“On that note, I’d ask people to please not speculate about this incident, online or otherwise, as doing so could potentially impede the pursuit of justice.

“As our investigation continues, I would like to thank the entire investigation team, who worked around the clock throughout the weekend to help secure these charges.”
