A driver who allegedly ploughed his car into a nightclub injured 13 people, leaving several with broken bones, police said.

Kent Police said a 21-yearold man had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a vehicle was driven on to a dancefloor at Blake’s in Gravesend at around 11:45pm on Saturday.
