Witness Richii Bunger, 19, from Gillingham said fellow partygoers claimed the driver rammed into the gate twice before the 4x4 ploughed into the club. He added: “We saw smoke come into the club, but we thought it was a faulty smoke machine. Then we saw a guy bandaged up with blood pouring down from his neck, which is when we realised something was seriously going down. “My mate was hit on the side by the car and I saw some girl who got fully run over by it. Then the DJ stopped playing the music and fights started to break out as people were rushing to get out of the club. “Then I waited outside to make sure that all of my mates were safe and there were loads of police cars and ambulances outside." Witness Jordan Ferris, 19, said: "We were at the bar and a fight broke out. Two lads were punching each other which the security was trying to break up. "Next thing I see is my cousin running behind the bar crying all distressed and hugging the barmaids. People were saying there had been an accident. "Police then came rushing in saying to stay put if we are hurt but if we weren't to evacuate the building. "As we were leaving we heard loads of people crying. The police were at the scene within minutes." Jade Keepin, 18, said: "I came out of the toilets in the shisha lounge and there was a car in the middle of the floor that security had surrounded. "Then I saw a person smash the back window of the car with his elbow and people began throwing stuff at the car. It was manic but security were making sure we were okay getting everyone into the main hall and safe." The nightclub hailed "heroic" revellers and door staff who helped stop the suspect in the immediate aftermath. A statement posted on Facebook by the club on Sunday morning said: "Although we are deeply saddened that injuries occurred, we are grateful that no one was fatally hurt. "We see our guests as family and we want to extend our concerns with them and the entire community of Gravesend, many of which bravely aided the staff and emergency services. "Thank you to the heroic actions of our door team and guests to apprehend the individual before further harm was caused." It is believed the rapper Giggs was performing at the club. One person tweeted: “Lots of emergency services at Blake’s where a vehicle has allegedly been driven into the nightclub.”

One witness who was in the smoking area saw the driver arguing with bouncers at the front of the club. He said: “I saw all the security guards shouting. “They were standing in front of the car to stop it moving but it reversed and really went for it. “One guard got the door open and was trying to pull him out or stop the car but it kept coming towards us. “Another security guard tried to jump out of the way but he went onto the bonnet and hit the windscreen. “I knew he wasn't going to stop so I just got my girlfriend and we ran out of there.”
