Supercars petrol bombed during wedding in UK city

Petrol bombs hurled at high-end cars outside Birmingham venue

Party goers and other guests located at the venue were nearly missed by the petrol bombs.

Two supercars were hit by the bombs during the unprecedented attack, while one hit the front of the venue.

Three bombs were hurled at the Royal Shalimar venue in Sparkbrooke, Birmingham, last night. 

What are thought to be a Lamborghini and a McLaren were hit during the attacks, totalling 5 petrol bombs during the assault. 

Venue staff took action to tackle the fire with extinguishers before fire fighters arrived.

Three individuals dressed in black were were seen throwing the home-made missiles towards the venue, as seen on CCTV.

The attackers then proceeded to throw two more bombs towards the supercars parked outside the venue. 

Guests scattered and jumped into their cars to get them out of harm’s way. 

The venue totalled around 500 guests in the wedding party alone, with more enjoying their meal in the location’s restaurant. 

Fahim Kayani, who was dining at the time of the attack, said: “ I was inside enjoying my meal when this very serious incident took place.

“I was aware of a disturbance outside. The restaurant staff responded very quickly and put out the flames with fire extinguishers before the emergency services arrived.

“Everyone stayed very calm but it could have been a lot worse. There was a big wedding and lots of people around. 

“Young people were standing not far from the cars that were firebombed.

“One kicked one of the missiles away before it could roll under one of the cars. 

“One young child was just a few metres away.”
