29-year-old British influencer RielleUK, real name Gabrielle Carrington, has reportedly been arrested on charges including suspicion of attempted murder after a viral video showed her driving a car into three people.
As reported by British tabloid The Daily Mail, Carrington was arrested on Sunday (April 19) on suspicion of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving, and drink-driving. In a video circulating online, Carrington was seen getting into a heated altercation with TikTok influencer Kaludia Zakrzewska, also known as Klaudiaglam, outside of the Inca nightclub in Soho, London. She was seen hitting three people with the vehicle, including a man in his 50s who did not appear to be involved with the altercation.
Emergency services were called to the scene of the incident shortly after it went down during the early hours of Sunday morning. The disturbing clip of the incident, which can be seen here, showed Zakrewska trapped underneath the vehicle. Another woman, who is in her 30s, was treated for minor injuries, while the man in his 50s was taken to a nearby hospital with “life-changing injuries.”
Carrington is still in police custody, and the Metropolitan Police have confirmed that the incident is under investigation.
“As our enquiries continue, our thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones,” said Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell of Specialist Crime South. “As our enquiries continue, our thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones. I would urge anyone who witnessed the collision, or any activity prior to it that they feel may be of relevance, to come forward. The information you have—however minor you believe it may be—could be of crucial importance to investigators.”
Prior to launching her career as an influencer, Carrington competed in the 2013 season of The X Factor, where she was part of the girl group Miss Dynamix. The group eventually made it to the live finals of the competition series.
