Dramatic video footage has been released of a motorist who drove in 'revenge' at a crowd outside a pub injuring seven people.
James Bates, 25, was 'dragged out of the pub' after a scuffle with bouncers according to Kent Online.
He whipped his silver Vauxhall Corsa at the crowd, hitting 33 miles per hour, and wrecking the front door of the 700-year-old pub in Littlestone, Kent, on November 24, 2017.
Bates claimed he was trying to kill himself, after he got into his car and snorted a line of ketamine.

Bates said he was upset after being dumped by his girlfriend.
But according to Kent Online Judge Simon James told the attacker: 'This was an appalling incident where you used your car as a weapon with the intention of inflicting serious injury of multiple victims.'
He said it was a 'miracle' nobody was more seriously injured.
The judge told him, 'I have no doubt that this was done in revenge or retaliation.'
One of the injured was student and amateur footballer, Matthew Lamb, whose arm and leg were fractured.
The landlady told KentOnline she feared for her pregnant business partner's wife: 'I saw Sarah, his wife, she was distressed and in shock. It hit me seeing Sarah that Kevin was outside.
James Bates, 25, was jailed for 12 years at Canterbury Crown Court
'We didn't need to say anything but we were both thinking "oh my god who has been killed or injured?"'
Tests showed Bates was well over the drink-drive limit and had a cocaine by-product in his body.
A Kent Police spokesman said: 'It hit the building by the front door, as well as a number of people who had been standing outside at the time.'
'Among the injuries reported, a man was hit directly by the car, suffering fractures to his leg and arm.
'Minutes before, Bates had been removed from the bar by staff after he got into a number of altercations with other customers while drinking there.
'When arrested shortly after the collision, Bates told police he could not explain why he had driven at the crowd of people.'
Detective Constable Chris Brett said: 'James Bates was seen to drive his car around the block in order to accelerate his car into the crowd of people standing outside the pub, showing this was a pre-meditated attack.
For many at just before 10pm on a Friday, the night was just getting started as the Vauxhall can be seen coming into view across the road
The 25-year-old claimed he was heartbroken after being dumped by his girlfriend and wanted to kill himself
Seven were injured including amateur footballer and student, Matthew Lamb, whose leg and arm were broken
'Considering the damage a car can cause, the people who were outside the pub at the time of the collision are fortunate their injuries were not worse.
'Regardless of injury, to be targeted in such a frightening and unprovoked way can have wide-reaching detrimental effects on those involved.
'I thank those who have assisted with and supported the investigation and subsequent prosecution.'
Bates, of Blenheim Road, Littlestone, Kent, was jailed for 12 years at Canterbury Crown Court after he pleaded guilty to one charge of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and six charges of attempted GBH.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
