22-YEAR-OLD MAN IN COURT OVER FRESHERS’ WEEK NIGHTCLUB ATTACK

- JAMES CARTLEDGE

Driver 'deliberately drove over' students

A MERCEDES driver tried to murder a student during Freshers’ Week by ploughing his vehicle into a crowd of people outside a nightclub, a court heard.

Mohammed Suffi, 22, is accused of deliberately running over Caliston Calistus after a brawl broke out following a student event at the Tunnel Club in Birmingham.

A court heard Mr Calistus suffered “catastrophic” injures when Suffi used the “powerful vehicle as a weapon” after being “egged on” by a friend.

He was left with fractured ribs, a fractured pelvis, a broken collar bone, broken shoulder blades, a broken neck and collapsed lungs after being dragged underneath the Mercedes SP69.

Five others were injured in the incident on October 3 last year.

Jurors heard Suffi then tried to dispose of the vehicle before fleeing the UK.
