A driver accused of pushing through protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge and injuring two people as they rallied on the anniversary of George Floyd's death has been arrested.
Police say groups of protesters were marching back to Brooklyn around 10 p.m. Tuesday when a Volkswagen sedan tried to get through the pedestrian traffic. It's unclear exactly at what speed the vehicle was traveling, but the NYPD said it was slow and one person allegedly jumped on top of the hood. The driver kept going for a few blocks before hitting and injuring a cyclist.
When cops tried to pull over the vehicle, the police vehicle's side-view mirror hit another protester. All three victims refused medical attention at the scene, police said.
