THIS is the terrifying moment a drunk driver smashes his SUV into a restaurant after he was kicked out for starting a brawl.

The vengeful driver, 51, left dozens of people running for their lives after he sent his Lexus crashing through the wall of the luxury food spot.

Horror CCTV footage shows Miguel Angel Requejo Astochado ramming his car into terrified diners in the La Molina district of Lima in Peru.

Astochado is being investigated for attempted murder, aggravated damage, and drink driving.

He is said to have ploughed into the El Charrua restaurant to get revenge on the owners who had booted him out just minutes prior.

Further footage from earlier in the night shows Astochado kicking off inside and starting a mass brawl with other diners.

Witnesses claim Astochado, who was allegedly intoxicated, started a verbal spat with at least five men before things turned physical.

Shocking video shows the man rushing over to a table and forcefully shoving a diner before throwing punches at another.

Two other men soon jump in to intervene as wild scenes ensue.

At one point, a diner picks up a chair above his head as he appears to be preparing to slam it on Astochado before he is stopped.

The brawl soon takes over the whole restaurant as the men crash into tables before ending up in a heap on the floor.

As staff come over to stop the fighting, the men get back to their feet as Astochado throws another sucker punch.

He is then again sent tumbling to the ground as another diner throws him over.

After several tense moments saw further insults being hurled, Astochado is dragged out of the restaurant by multiple people.

Those inside returned to their seats expecting to continue on with their meal.

Moments later, a high-end SUV can be seen crashing through the wall where the men involved in the brawl were all waiting around.

Allegedly, Astochado entered his vehicle after being escorted away and executed a high-speed maneuver that enabled him to drive directly towards the establishment.

The SUV destroyed the wall and left almost half of the restaurant demolished including the tables and chairs.

At least three people were hit as Astochado reversed back out through the collapsed wall.

A number of people were treated at the scene for minor injuries, with one person still in hospital.

The suspect reportedly studied mechanical engineering and holds a master’s degree in business administration and management.

He was later arrested by the National Police with officers saying he showed obvious signs of intoxication.

The investigation is ongoing into the horror scenes which took place late at night on Wednesday, July 2.

The scenes came as harrowing footage captured a gunman opening fire during a pub brawl in the UK.

Landlady Bonita Page, 55, was attempting to resolve the fight outside The Red Lion in Wath upon Dearne when she was shot in the leg.

Oliver Corney, 35, received a 16 year and nine month prison sentence for using the weapon.
