Influencer Charged With Attempted Murder Over Soho Crash as Victim Remains Critical

The 29-year-old will remain in custody ahead of a May 19 hearing at the Old Bailey.

Overview

  • A black Mercedes hit pedestrians outside the Inca nightclub on Argyll Street at about 4:30am Sunday, leaving influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska in a life‑threatening condition, injuring a man in his 50s with life‑changing harm, and hurting a third woman with minor injuries.
  • Gabrielle Carrington, known online as RIELLEUK, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday and was remanded in custody for an Old Bailey hearing on May 19.
  • Prosecutors told the court that CCTV shows Carrington re‑entering her car, mounting the pavement, and dragging Zakrzewska between the vehicle and a metal bike rack.
  • The prosecution also reported a breath‑alcohol reading of 61 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath, which is close to twice the legal limit.
  • Police identified the seriously injured man as security guard Anoosh Chaichy, 56, from Edgware, and urged witnesses to come forward as Zakrzewska’s mother asked followers to ignore false death rumors and pray for her recovery.
