CCTV footage captures the moment a notorious Salford hardman drove a luxury car into a packed celebrity nightclub in a bid to intimidate the bouncers.
Horrified clubbers scrambled for safety as David Totton – who survived a gangland assassination bid in 2006 – repeatedly rammed the doors of footballers’ hangout Club Liv in Manchester city centre in the early hours.
The bizarre ‘prank’ came moments after doormen refused entry to an unidentified man known to Totton before locking the doors to avoid trouble, a Manchester Crown Court sentencing heard.
Totton then calmly walked to a hired Peugeot RCZ coupe parked opposite, turned into the path of oncoming traffic before slowly mounting the kerb, and twice ‘nudged’ the doors of the venue.
In carrying out the manoeuvre, he collided with the front of a taxi then proceeded at a right angle into oncoming traffic towards the nightclub, mounting the pavement and nudging the club doors so they were buckling. Totton then reversed and repeated the ‘nudging’ motion before driving away.
Sentencing him to an eight-month sentence, suspended for two years, with 100 hours’ unpaid work, a three-year driving ban, £400 costs, and the two-year Criminal Behaviour Order, The Judge said his behaviour was ‘deliberate, arrogant and intimidating’.
