Man Jailed for Ramming Crowd, Fleeing to Spain

0:00On March 30th, a Birmingham man named Callum Russell just got locked up for four years and one month after deliberately plowing his car into a crowd. Outside a nightclub in Sudden Colefield. This went down on March 24th, 2024. When he sped toward a group of people, seriously hurting an 18-year-old guy who got. Fung over the hood and windshield, breaking his legs bad. Russell had been out with buddies, dropped him at bars after a fight inside one spot on Birmingham Road, then circled back for Mill Street. He stayed in the driver's seat while his friends went in, turned around and gunned it straight at the crowd hanging outside. Folks are reeling from how close this came to being deadly cops. Say the innocent kid was just wrong place, wrong time, and Russell's act put everyone. At risk. He ditched the car nearby, walked back to link up with his crew like nothing happened. No words on why he did it. CCTV caught him later, miming twisting the wheel and laughing with friends, which helped nail him as the driver.

1:00He bounced out the country by ferry next month, hidden Spain till cops grabbed him at Birmingham Airport last August. Coventry Crown Court handed down the sentence, Thursday, March 26th, plus a driving ban for four years and 14 days after he pled guilty. To dangerous driving and wounding. Just as caught up, showing you can't run forever from that kind of reckless chaos.
