Security guard caught up in BBL influencer 'attack' is 'still in a lot of pain' after being mowed down outside Soho nightclub

By JAMES FIELDING, SENIOR REPORTER Published: 00:22, 24 April 2026 | Updated: 00:28, 24 April 2026 The security guard who was mown down by a Mercedes outside a nightclub in a crash that left a BBL influencer fighting for life has spoken for the first time from his hospital bed. Anoosh Chaichy suffered life-changing injuries when he was hit by the high-powered black vehicle as he tried to move his e-scooter at the end of his shift. Klaudia Zakrzewska - Instagram and TikTok star Klaudiaglam - was also struck by the car in the early hours of Sunday and remains in a critical condition in hospital. X Factor finalist and fellow influencer - Gabrielle Carrington, known as RIELLEUK - was arrested at the scene and appeared in court earlier this week charged with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, dangerous driving and drink driving. Fitness fanatic Mr Chaichy, 59, from north London, suffered serious lacerations to his leg following the incident outside Inca nightclub in Mayfair, the Daily Mail can reveal. He underwent surgery this week to have a skin graft applied at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. Miraculously he suffered no broken bones but will remain in hospital for the coming days and is likely to be off work for six months. Speaking from a hospital ward, where he is recovering from his ordeal, the security guard told friends: 'I am still in a lot of pain.'

That isn’t true, the injury was not a minor one by any means but it could’ve been much worse. ‘He hasn’t any broken bones but he’s going to be in hospital for a few days yet while the doctors check up on him. He’s on a lot of medication. ‘When I visited him, the first thing I asked was how he was and he said: “I’m getting better but I’m still in a lot of pain.” ‘He said he remembers very little about the incident, he had his back turned at the time and was hit by the car from behind. ‘The impact of that left him in severe shock afterwards and he was drifting in and out of consciousness. ‘He works for Citidel Securities and has been on the doors at Inca London for about a year. ‘Just before he was hit he was trying to unlock his e-scooter from a pole to go home as his shift had finished. ‘He may be off work for six months or so. But I’m hoping he’ll make a full recovery eventually.’ Mr Chaichy underwent surgery this week to have a skin graft applied at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington Iranian-born Mr Chaichy posts regular photos of himself working out in the gym on his Instagram account, which also has pictures of him working in security at London pubs and posing happily with drinkers. His friend added: ‘He’s a great guy with a lot of friends but he has no family in the UK. ‘They’re mostly in Iran and because of the situation over there and limited internet use, the police initially struggled to let his relatives know what happened.’ Emergency services were called to Argyll Street at around 4.30am Sunday following reports that 'a car had been involved in a collision with pedestrians'. A graphic video circulating online shows Miss Zakrzewska being knocked to the ground and becoming trapped underneath the vehicle as bystanders rush to help as she lies motionless. The Polish-born social media star- who has 258,000 followers on Instagram - had attended Inca nightclub with friends on Saturday night. She is believed to have been involved in a heated argument outside the club that involved Miss Carrington prior to the crash. Moments before impact, a witness appears to realise what is about to happen, shouting in alarm: 'She is going to run her over.’ Carrington - also known as RIELLEUK - made it through to the live finals of The X Factor in 2013 as part of girl group Miss Dynamix mentored by Take That singer Gary Barlow. She appeared in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday wearing a grey top and her long dark hair in twin plaits. The 29-year-old from Manchester spoke only to confirm her name and date of birth. She made a heart gesture with her hands to family and friends in the packed public gallery as she was remanded into custody at the end of the 11-minute hearing. Outlining the case, prosecutor Rizwan Amin said: 'There has been an ongoing dispute between the parties and the parties are known to each other.' He said Carrington was 'a known social media influencer'. Describing the 'melee' that unfolded, he said: 'During this time, she (Carrington), seemed to have an altercation with a male as she exited her car. 'This altercation had escalated, involving several other members of the public. 'When security tried to intervene, Miss Carrington was seen to re-enter the vehicle,' which immediately moved off and 'sharply' mounted the pavement, he said. 'During this manoeuvre, the vehicle had struck Miss Zakrzewska, who was dragged forward and was trapped beneath the vehicle. 'The vehicle kept moving forward. 'As the vehicle moved forward, it fully took her underneath the vehicle and struck Mr Anoosh who was on the pavement.’ ‘When security tried to intervene, Miss Carrington was seen to re-enter the vehicle,' which immediately moved off and 'sharply' mounted the pavement, he said. 'During this manoeuvre, the vehicle had struck Miss Zakrzewska, who was dragged forward and was trapped beneath the vehicle. 'The vehicle kept moving forward. 'As the vehicle moved forward, it fully took her underneath the vehicle and struck Mr Anoush who was on the pavement.' A third person - Latisha Armstrong - was also hit by the vehicle, suffering a broken bone in her wrist, the court heard. According to the court charges, Carrington allegedly had 61 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath when she tested after the incident. The legal limit in England is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres. District judge Nina Tempia remanded Carrington in custody ahead of her next appearance, at the Old Bailey next month.
