A man has been charged with five counts of attempted murder following an incident in Arnold.
Multiple pedestrians were injured after a red Vauxhall Astra mounted a kerb and struck a group of people.
One man sustained life-threatening injuries during the collision in Market Place, Arnold, at 1.12 am on Saturday (9 May).
Our detectives have been investigating the incident since then, with officers arresting a 40-year-old man later that same day.
Suspect Duane Anthony has now been charged with multiple offences, including five counts of attempted murder.
He has also been charged with aggravated vehicle taking, driving while disqualified, and driving without valid insurance.
Anthony, of Marton Road, Chilwell, is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court this morning (11 May).
Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, who is leading the investigation, 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.”
