During her appearance at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, the 29-year-old made a heart sign towards her family as she was remanded in custody.

Carrington faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, dangerous driving and drink driving.

The court heard she was nearly twice the legal alcohol limit at the time of the incident and is also accused of injuring two additional individuals, including a security guard.

Prosecutor Rizwan Amin outlined the events, stating, “In the early hours of Sunday morning, April 19, ambulance services and police were called to Argyll Street for reports that a woman had been run over.” He added, “The scene can only be described as lots of people shouting, it could be described as a melee, so to speak.”

The court was told that Zakrzewska, believed to be in her 30s, remains in a life-threatening condition in hospital. Another individual reportedly suffered life-changing injuries.

District Judge Nina Tempia ordered that Carrington be held in custody until her next hearing at the Old Bailey on May 19, 2026. She did not enter any pleas during the hearing.

The Crown Prosecution Service emphasised the importance of a fair trial and cautioned against commentary that could prejudice proceedings.
