He was cleared of attempting to murder them by using his vehicle as a weapon but found guilty of GBH
A banned driver who mowed down four passers-by after being hit with a bottle during a fight outside a pub has been cleared of attempting to murder them. Choudry Razaq, 26, was accused of trying to kill the friends by using a silver Chevrolet as a weapon in Kingsley Road, Hounslow, west London, on September 25 last year.
They were seen on CCTV, milling around and playing pool, before congregating outside the pub at around 2.20am. When two more men arrived, the defendant appeared to become agitated and punched one of them, the court heard. One man picked up a bottle and smashed it on the ground and then on a lamppost, the hearing was told.
The prosecutor said the footage showed the victims’ bodies lying “scattered across two driveways” as a result of the collision. The car was travelling at around 33mph at the time of the collision at 2.40am, with at least two of the pedestrians landing on the windscreen, the court was told.
