A security guard who sustained life-altering injuries after he was hit by a Mercedes allegedly driven by an influencer has been photographed. Anoosh Chaichy, 56, from Edgware, in north London, had been standing next to BBL influencer Klaudiaglam, real name Klaudia Zakrzewska, as he tried to move his e-scooter when both were hit by the black car.

The security guard was left sprawled on the pavement while Klaudia was rushed to hospital in a critical condition following the incident outside a London nightclub on Sunday night.

X Factor finalist-turned-influencer Gabrielle Carrington, 29, also known online as RIELLEUK, was arrested and charged with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm and dangerous driving.

Polish-born Klaudia, who has nearly 260,000 followers on Instagram, had been at the Inca nightclub in Argyll Street, Soho on Saturday night before the incident occurred.

Carrington appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday where she made a heart gesture from the dock. Carrington, dressed in grey, stood with her hands on her hips as District Judge Nina Tempia remanded her in custody.

Carrington, who has more than 365,000 followers on Instagram, made it to the X Factor live finals in 2013 as one of the three members of Miss Dynamix.

The judge ordered that Carrington is held in prison until the next court hearing at the Old Bailey on May 19.

Carrington – described in court as “social media influencer” who makes regular trips to the United Arab Emirates – made a heart sign with her hands towards friends and family in the packed public gallery as she was led out of the dock and back to the cells.

Family and friends of Ms Zakrzewska also attended the court hearing.

Footage of the incident circulating online shows a woman getting into a black car before it surges forward, striking Ms Zakrzewska who goes under the vehicle.

Outlining the allegations, prosecutor Rizwan Amin told the court: “In the early hours of Sunday morning, April 19, ambulance services and police were called to Argyll Street for reports that a woman had been run over.

“Officers had attended at 5am, and also London Ambulance Service were on the scene. The scene can only be described as lots of people shouting, it could be described as a melee, so to speak.

“Many individuals who were there were from a nearby nightclub including security staff members. The full extent of the incident wasn’t appreciated at the time officers had attended.

“Further checks of CCTV show that Ms Carrington had arrived in Argyll Street in her car, which was nearby to the Inca nightclub.

“During this time, she seemed to have an altercation with a male as she exited her car. This altercation escalated, involving several other members of the public.

“Security staff tried to intervene to separate those involved. Ms Carrington was then seen to re-enter the vehicle.”

Mr Amin said the vehicle “immediately moved off and sharply mounted the pavement”.

“During this manoeuvre, the vehicle has struck Ms Zakrzewska who was position to the front side of the vehicle and she was dragged forwards and dropped between the vehicle and a metal bike rack”, he said.

“As the vehicle kept moving forward, it fully took her underneath the vehicle and at the same time had struck a security member of staff, Anoush Chaichy, who was on the pavement.”

It is said Carrington reversed the car backwards as Ms Zakrzewska emerged from under the vehicle laying prone on the ground.

“During the manoeuvre, a Ms Latisha Armstrong was also hit by the vehicle and suffered a fractured scaphoid bone in her wrist area,” said Mr Amin.

Ms Zakrzewska remains in a life-threatening condition in hospital, the Metropolitan Police said on Monday evening.

The force said Mr Chaichy, in his 50s, has suffered “life-changing injuries”.

According to the court charges, Carrington allegedly had 61 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath when she tested after the incident.

After the charges were announced, David Malone, deputy chief crown prosecutor for the CPS in London North, said: “We remind all concerned that proceedings against the defendant are active and that she has the right to a fair trial.

“It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
