Nine-year sentence for Chelmsford car park attack outside McDonald's
Glenn Hobbs, 30, has been jailed for nine years after driving his Mini Cooper into two people outside a McDonald's restaurant in Chelmsford, bbc.com reports.
CCTV footage captured the moments before Hobbs struck a man in the car park on Drovers Way at around 21:25 GMT on 18 December 2023. Witnesses are seen on camera running towards the vehicle. As one person attempted to prevent Hobbs from leaving the scene, they were also struck by the car.
Essex Police said Hobbs, of Forefield Green in Chelmsford, had earlier been seen arguing with a male passenger in his 70s inside the vehicle. The passenger was taken to hospital with serious injuries following the incident.
Hobbs pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and assault at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Sergeant James Pamment said: "This could easily have been a murder investigation. Hobbs struck his victim with a car, fully aware he could kill him."
