A man has been charged after four pedestrians were hit with a car on Christmas Day.

The shocking incident has seen one person left in critical condition in the hospital.

The man, named as Anthony Gilheaney, has been charged with four counts of attempted murder.

The 30-year-old has also been charged with causing serious injury by driving while disqualified, driving a motor vehicle dangerously, and possession of a bladed article in a public place.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy stated that a suspect was arrested within minutes.

He described the incident as a 'violent attack in the early hours of Christmas Day in Central London'.

He went on to say: “Since then, investigators have worked tirelessly to build the case and have today charged Anthony Gilheaney with four counts of attempted murder.

"Our thoughts now are with the victims, one of which remains in critical condition in hospital."

A car was driving on the wrong side of the road in Shaftesbury Avenue, Soho, and hit the four people in question, leaving one in critical condition.
