A man has been charged with attempted murder and drunk driving after a car collided with several pedestrians in Luton.

Nardi Bytuyci, 23, of Witney Chambers, Fanshawe Avenue, Barking, was arrested at the scene and charged with two counts of attempted murder and driving while over the legal alcohol limit.

The collision occurred in Chapel Street, Luton, in the early hours of Saturday morning (April 5).

Two men in their 30s were taken to the hospital for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Bytuyci has been remanded in custody until his next court date at Luton Magistrates’ Court on Monday (April 7).

Detective Superintendent Aman Dhaliwal said: “On behalf of the force, I’d like to thank members of the public for quickly tending to those injured in this collision.

“While we would always advise people to retreat to a safe place, call 999 and await police arrival, there is no doubt the actions of those at the scene prevented further harm.”
