A DRIVER whose car struck two doormen outside a Bournemouth club has been found not guilty of attempted murder.

Shailem Dodson was also acquitted of causing grievous bodily harm with intent by a jury at Winchester Crown Court.

Police have now released footage of the moment of impact.

As reported in the Daily Echo, former soldier Shailem Dodson was said to be "intent on revenge" and 'grinned' after 'mowing down' the men.

Dodson, 20, had been asked to leave Halo in Bournemouth in the early hours of December 12 last year.

He then got into a brawl outside, punching a member of door staff, it was heard.

The defendant was so "angry" he got into his Vauxhall Corsa and drove back to the Exeter Road venue, it was heard.

He then allegedly drove through metal barriers and into the doormen in an attempt to murder one of them.

Jurors were shown CCTV which shows one doorman, Rafael Zanin, hitting the bonnet of the car and landing on concrete steps.

Mr Zanin suffered cuts and bruises. It was heard that only a "miracle" prevented him from being seriously hurt.

Dodson, of Gunville Down Road in Blandford’s army camp, allegedly carried out the 'attack' at 2.30am. When he was later breathalysed, Dodson had 57 micrograms of alcohol in breath. The limit is 35.

He admitted dangerous driving, drink driving and assault by beating and will be sentenced on December 20.
