"Sandhu Ponnachan, 36, of Chariot Close, Alvaston, appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, charged with six counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, one count of attempted grievous bodily harm, and one count of possession of a bladed article."
"Seven people were injured, some seriously, outside the Bishop Blaise pub in Friar Gate at around 9.30pm on Saturday when a black Suzuki Swift mounted the pavement."
"District judge Jonathan Taaffe began the hearing by addressing Ponnachan directly, stating: 'You face a number of charges from an incident on March 28th.'"
"Counter-terrorism police assisted Derbyshire Police in the investigation, although the force said at the time this did not mean the incident was terror-related."
Sandhu Ponnachan, 36, has been remanded in custody after being charged with multiple counts of grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article. The charges stem from an incident where a black Suzuki Swift mounted the pavement, injuring four men and three women aged 36 to 52 outside the Bishop Blaise pub. Four of the injured have since been discharged from the hospital. Ponnachan appeared emotionless in court and was remanded until his next court appearance on April 29.
