A car plowed into a crowd of about 50 people at a protest that spilled into the streets of Manhattan on Friday afternoon, injuring several people, according to New York City police and local news media reports.
Video taken at the scene shows the crowd surrounds the BMW and someone starts pounding on the window before the car speeds through.
The woman behind the wheel of the BMW sedan was detained for questioning by law enforcement, the New York City Police Department said. The incident occurred just after 4 p.m. at the corner of 39th Street and Third Avenue in the Murray Hill neighborhood adjacent to Midtown Manhattan, police said.
None of the injuries appeared to be life threatening, and the motorist involved remained at the scene, police said. Few other official details were immediately available.
