One man sustained life-threatening injuries during the collision in Market Place at 1.12am on Saturday (9).

Three members of Woodthorpe Park Rangers FC were injured in the incident.

Detectives have been investigating the incident since then, with police arresting a 40-year-old man later that same day.

Counter Terrorism Police have not been involved in the investigation.

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, Bulwell, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court

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.”

Anthony will appear at Nottingham Crown Court on June 8.
