Just days after a British influencer allegedly drove a car into pedestrians outside of a nightclub in central London, a victim who sustained “life-threatening injuries” has been publicly identified.

At around 4:30 a.m. local time on Sunday, April 19, the Metropolitan Police received reports that a car had hit pedestrians near the Inca nightclub in Soho. A man in his 50s sustained “life-changing injuries,” while a woman in her 30s remains in a “life-threatening condition,” said police in a news release. A third woman, also aged in her 30s, was treated for minor injuries.

Klaudia Zakrzewska, an influencer known as "Klaudiaglam," has previously been named as the alleged target of the incident. 

Anoosh Chaichy, a security guard and fitness enthusiast from north London, has now been revealed as the injured man in his 50s, UK newspapers The Standard, Manchester Evening News and the Daily Mail reported, citing police charges. 

Chaichy, 56, is believed to have been standing next to Zakrzewska and attempting to move his e-scooter when he was struck by the car. His Instagram account shows him routinely exercising at the gym and working as a security guard across the capital.

Following the incident, Gabrielle Carrington, an X-Factor UK finalist and influencer known as “RielleUK,” has been charged with “attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, dangerous driving and drink driving,” per the Metropolitan Police's news release. 

Carrington, 29, made a heart sign to her family as she appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on April 22, the Manchester Evening News reported. She did not enter any pleas during the hearing.

“Checks of CCTV show that Ms Carrington had arrived in Argyll Street in her car, which was nearby to the Inca nightclub,” prosecutor Rizwan Amin told the court, per the outlet. “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," Amin continued. "Security staff tried to intervene to separate those involved. Ms Carrington was then seen to re-enter the vehicle.”

Amin alleged that the vehicle “immediately moved off and sharply mounted the pavement.”

“During this maneuver, 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, per the Manchester Evening News.

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

The prosecutor alleged that Armstrong suffered “a fractured scaphoid bone in her wrist area” amid the collision.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Carrington's charges include grievous bodily harm to Chaichy and assault occasioning actual bodily harm against Armstrong, who was the third person hit by the car.

Carrington allegedly had roughly 0.0061% blood alcohol content (cited specifically as 61 micrograms of alcohol per 100 milliliters) when breathalyzed, almost double the legal limit for drivers stated on the government website.

District Judge Nina Tempia has ordered that Carrington be held in prison until the next court hearing at the Old Bailey on May 19.

The Metropolitan Police did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for further comment.
