Terrifying footage has emerged of holiday makers screaming as a British driver ploughed through pedestrians while 'high on cocaine', injuring a seven-week-old baby and at least five others.
The clip captures the dramatic moment a 4x4 mows down and injures pedestrians in the holiday resort of Puerto Banus as the Audi SQ7 appears to be driven deliberately at victims.
Horrified Brits caught up in the carnage can be heard screaming in panic as the vehicle screeches around a pedestrianised area near the resort's famous Ocean Club.
Six people were taken to hospital and the driver was arrested after crashing into vehicles having led police on a wild chase on the wrong side of the road.
Well-placed sources close to the investigation said the unnamed suspect, aged 27, failed a drugs test after police initially said he had appeared drunk after being stopped by officers.
In the video footage, one woman overlooking the scene shouts out in English: 'Get away' after the car appears to smash into another vehicle on a roundabout before mounting the pavement for a second time and being driven recklessly at speed.
Another Brit can be heard yelling: 'Get him' and 'Get away' as the vehicle comes back into shot on a video filmed using a mobile phone and pulls to a stop alongside a bare-chested man in shorts who appears to be injured and is on his knees in a flower bed.
A man in a blue T-shirt - who looks to have been a passenger in the Audi - seems to get out of the vehicle and slams the door shut before disappearing.
The car then speeds away as the first sirens near - leading police on a spectacular chase which ended when it smashed into several vehicles on the wrong side of the road nearby Marbella's famous Golden Mile.
The Brit driver, in his late 20s, was arrested at the scene as well as the passenger.
The unnamed driver is believed to have been asked to leave the nearby Ocean Club - which was hosting its annual champagne party - after a fight.
Police are now investigating whether he deliberately mounted the pavement and drove down a pedestrian area leading to the club, mowing down people in his path - including the seven-week-old baby.
Officers confirmed they have arrested two Brits over last night's horrific scenes.
The driver was initially described as a 22-year-old, although sources close to the investigation said today he was born in 1990 making him 26 or 27 years old.
The well-informed source said: 'A passenger in the car has also been arrested.
'He is being held at a police station in Marbella near Puerto Banus in connection with last night's incidents.
'The driver is at Marbella's Costa del Sol Hospital.
'Both men are British.'
Sources said today after tests that although the driver had been drinking and was officially just over the Spanish drink-drive limit - which is half the UK limit - the amount of alcohol he had in his body would not normally have resulted in prosecution.
The source said: 'He was strictly speaking just a fraction over the drink-drive limit but within the band which could have been attributed to problems with the breathalyser.
'A police officer might have reported him if he had been breathalysed at a routine stop under normal circumstances but usually he would have been allowed to continue.
'What he tested positive for was drugs, cocaine in this instance.
'The man believed to be a passenger in the car tested positive for cannabis.'
The passenger in the car was born in 1989, making him 27 or 28. It is not known if they were on holiday in the area or live in Spain.
The two men are expected to be hauled before an investigating judge tomorrow.
Although they will not face immediate charges, the driver at least may be told he is being investigated on suspicion of attempted murder if police feel there is evidence pointing to him trying to deliberate harm his alleged victims.
The vehicle was left a write-off after a high-speed police chase which ended with the black Audi invading the wrong carriageway on the nearby Golden Mile dual-carriageway running between Marbella and Puerto Banus before hitting several cars including one in which three people including a young baby were injured.
The incident happened just after 9pm last night as revellers were leaving the Ocean Club on one of its busiest days of the year.
Six people are understood to have been transferred to Marbella's Costa del Sol hospital - one with a broken leg and another with a possible fractured pelvis.
A third person arrived unconscious and was last night undergoing tests.
The other three people, who are not described as seriously injured, were a 38-year-old man, a 35-year-old and a baby believed to be just weeks old.
They are thought to be members of the same family and were travelling in the car hit by the Audi on the Golden Mile.
Initial fears the incident on the stretch of road known as the Golden Mile was terror-related were ruled out by police who said the driver had been drunk.
The incident happened around 9pm on Sunday as revellers were leaving the popular venue after its annual champagne party, which attracts celebrities and international footballers.
One eyewitness said they thought it was 'a terrorist attack at first', while another British witness told The Sun: 'I was lying in the middle of the ground. I thought I was going to die.
'I saw two people get hit and heard at least another six hit. It came out of nowhere.'
Six people were taken to the nearby Costa del Sol Hospital.
One was being operated for a broken leg, another is believed to have suffered a possible fractured pelvis and a third arrived unconscious and is undergoing tests.
All are thought to be pedestrians who were mown down near the Ocean Club. Their nationalities have not yet been revealed.
The other three people, who are not described as seriously injured, are a 38-year-old man, a 35-year-old and a baby.
They are believed to have been travelling in one of the cars hit by the Audi Q7 after the British driver fled the original accident scene.
The driver then crashed into several cars by Marbella's Coral Beach area on the Golden Mile moments after leaving the scene at high-speed.
