Police are trying to determine which ‘high’ British man drove an Audi into pedestrians, including seven-week-old baby
Police in Marbella are still trying to determine who was driving the Audi which ploughed through several pedestrians in the resort town.
Terrifying footage showed holidaymakers screaming as a man, said to be ‘high on cocaine’, injured a seven-week-old baby and at least five others in Puerto Banus.
Pictures of the smashed up vehicle showed the driver and passenger had left sachets of Kamagra oral jelly – a cheap alternative to Viagra – on a floor mat under the steering wheel.
Authorities were this morning working on the assumption a Briton known only as Marcus was driving the black Audi Q7, while a man called Anthony was the passenger.
But after questioning witnesses, investigators believe Marcus may have been the passenger – and the officers who chased the vehicle may have made a mistake because the car was a UK-plated right-hand-drive.
The wrecked vehicle was taken to the police station in Marbella where the two suspects were being quizzed today before it was removed from public view.
Both men tested positive for drink and drugs. One tested positive for cocaine and the other for cannabis.
Pictures from inside the car showed British sterling coins and a pair of sunglasses near the remains of the airbag.
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.
Earlier, terrifying footage 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 shocking clip of the incident captures the 4×4 mowing down and injuring, with some suggesting it was driven deliberately into them.
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, ‘Get away’, in English after the car appears to smash into another vehicle on a roundabout.
It is then seen 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.
It shows a bare-chested man in shorts who appears to be injured and is on his knees in a flower bed.
