A security guard who was seriously injured in a crash outside a Mayfair nightclub that left influencer Klaudia Glam fighting for her life has spoken from his hospital bed. Anoosh Chaichy, 56, was hit by a car while trying to unlock his e-scooter after his shift at Inca London.
Mr Chaichy, who works for Citidel Securities, underwent surgery for a skin graft at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. He suffered no broken bones but has life-changing injuries and will likely need six months off work. Speaking from his hospital bed, he told friends: 'I am still in a lot of pain.'
The crash occurred at around 4.30am on Sunday in Argyll Street, Soho. Former X Factor contestant Gabrielle Carrington, 29, known online as RIELLEUK, has been charged with attempted murder, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, dangerous driving and drink driving. She appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday and did not enter pleas.
Klaudia Glam, whose real name is Klaudia Zakrzewska, remains in hospital in a critical condition. The Polish-born influencer has more than 258,000 followers on Instagram. A friend of Mr Chaichy said he remembers little about the incident, having had his back turned when hit. The friend added: 'He’s a great guy with a lot of friends but he has no family in the UK.'
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell urged witnesses to come forward. Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting reference 3374/19APR, or provide information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
