Police in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, are searching for a driver they say critically injured one man when he intentionally ran down a group of pedestrians in the parking lot of a Feasterville club and lounge on New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n
Roba Gasitashvili, 22, of Philadelphia, is facing charges including attempted murder, aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, the Lower Southampton Township Police Department said in a news release this week.<\/p>\n
Police say about two hours after 2026 got started, Gasitashvili was seen on surveillance video driving a white Volkswagen sedan in the parking lot of the Hive Lounge on Bustleton Pike and “deliberately accelerating” toward a group of five people. He didn’t stop, even after striking three of the people and two parked cars.<\/p>\n
“The driver continued to circle the building, repeatedly driving toward pedestrians who narrowly avoided being struck,” police said.<\/p>\n
Gasitashvili then stopped the vehicle near one of the victims who was struck, a 29-year-old man from Philadelphia, before fleeing north on Bustleton Pike.<\/p>\n
Officers were called to the parking lot of the “luxury lounge” around 2 a.m. and found the 29-year-old unconscious with serious head and facial injuries. He was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition. The conditions of the other two people struck were not specified.<\/p>\n
About a mile away, police found a white Volkswagen Jetta in the parking lot of the TJ Maxx store on Street Road. Police described the vehicle as having “significant front-end damage, blood on the hood and grille, a shattered windshield with what appeared to be a human impression, a deployed airbag, missing parts and leaking fluids.”<\/p>\n
Police said the Jetta was registered to Gasitashvili and officers are attempting to locate him. Anyone with information can contact 215-357-1234 or email tipline@lstwp.org.<\/p>\n
