Chaos After Alkaline Concert
The incident happened on Engineers Way at around 11:10pm, just after dancehall star Alkaline had finished his gig. The street was packed with concertgoers.
Footage shows a woman dancing in the road, narrowly dodging oncoming traffic. Moments later, a car smashes into her, dragging her roughly 30 yards on the bonnet before she is thrown to the ground. The driver then sped off without stopping.

Bystanders quickly called emergency services, but when police and paramedics arrived, the victim had vanished. Despite a search, officers couldn’t find her.
A 33-year-old woman was arrested nearby on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving under the influence. She has now been released on bail, with a court date set for early June.
