CCTV footage shows a group of bouncers around a red barrier, watching as a car goes to drive away.
But it then suddenly jolts forward towards them, and the group try to back away as they realise what is happening.
One of the bouncers was thrown up onto the bonnet, and another is pushed to the ground as the car goes through the barrier.
Inner London Crown heard how on May 29, 2023, Rowland rammed his into them in Barking, .
The security guard hurt his knee and ankle after ending up on the bonnet, while the second security guard injured his hand.
When questioned by , Rowland claimed he had no idea about the attack, and he had rented the car out.
However his lie fell apart when both of the bouncers identified him.
Rowland was then charged with murder and two counts of attempted Section 18 grievous bodily harm.
It also emerged that on March 24 last year, Rowland was involved in a similar attack.
He had an argument with a group outside a restaurant and drove off, only to return and run into one of the men in the early hours of the morning.
Cops scrambled to the scene at 5.20am on March 24 last year and found Fergany Mvuezolo, 35, seriously injured.

Officers tried to save him but he sadly died at the scene in East Ham.
Rowland tried to flee the country, but cops arrested him at Heathrow Airport later that day.
He will be sentenced on Thursday for murder, dangerous and two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm.
Detective Inspector Aytac Necati – who led the – said: “Rowland is an extremely dangerous man. He used his car as a weapon against three men – one of whom tragically lost his life.
“Rowland is also a devious liar. He misled police about the initial attack, in which he ran his car into a pair of security guards over a trivial dispute – only to go on to kill another man using the exact same method.
“Both of the incidents were captured on CCTV.
“We would like to express our sympathies to the family of Fergany Mvuezolo, and to Rowland’s two living victims. The defendant has left a trail of destruction in his wake.
“The investigation into Rowland was traditional and people-focused, with officers at the murder scene quickly establishing the killer’s identity by speaking to witnesses.
“This allowed police to swiftly apprehend him, before he could flee the country.”
