It was a wild Goose chase.
The alleged drunken driver who mowed down four pedestrians after a wild New Year’s Eve party at a Brooklyn club claims he was fleeing a violent mob who stole his pricey bottles of Grey Goose, his attorney said yesterday.
Staten Island carpenter Charles Amado, 34, was slapped with attempted-murder charges at his Brooklyn Criminal Court arraignment for plowing into the clubgoers after a bar brawl spilled out onto a Bay Ridge sidewalk, prosecutors said.
He had a blood-alcohol level of .133 — well above the legal limit of .08, prosecutors added.
Amado and his girlfriend, Andrea Jobity, 39, were partying at Lounge 93 when their vodka-theft accusations sparked a fight, his lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, said.
Amado, Jobity and about 15 other people allegedly continued the scuffle outside on 93rd Street at Third Avenue.
“These people were coming after them with bats, bottles, you name it. So he took off in his car,” Lazzaro said.
Amado mounted the curb and hit three pedestrians, then reversed and hit another, prosecutors said.
