A man who ploughed his car into a Gravesend nightclub has also been given a two year driving ban on top of sentence.

Mohammed Abdul, 21, was sentenced to 28 years in prison after driving his car into a dancefloor packed with people at Blakes nightclub in Queen’s Street, Gravesend.  

Abdul, from Deptford, crashed his car in a drunk and drug fuelled rage after being told by bouncers kicked him out for being too drunk.  

Mrs Justice Cheema Grubb ruled that he would be disqualified from driving for 14 years from yesterday and a further two years when he is released from prison. 

The jury at his retrial at Maidstone Crown Court heard that Abdul felt ‘humiliated’ after being ejected by bouncers from the club on March 17th last year. 

Bouncers ejected him for being too drunk but he refused to leave and threatened to kill them before returning 10 minutes later with his car – injuring eight people. 

Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb, during last week’s sentencing, branded his attempts to dodge responsibility “shameful”.  

She said: “It could have been a scene of carnage. You have robbed that young lady of future choices and have also had a profound impact on her psychological health. 

“Your motive was selfish and pathetic: it was revenge at being thrown out for being drunk. Your action led to panic and distress among dozens of people. Your actions have thrown away many of the best years of your own life.”
