A car plowed through a group of protesters Tuesday evening during a march and rally in the wake of a decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting and killing of Michael Brown. The event was planned Tuesday near the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd Precinct headquarters at Lake Street and Minnehaha Avenue S. A Star Tribune reporter, who was at the rally, said protesters were blocking the intersection, so the vehicle began honking. When they wouldn’t move, the car started running people down. In the video from KSTP’s Chopper 5, the involved vehicle goes around another stopped car and into the crowd. Protesters jump on the hood of the car as it pushes its way through the sea of people. The driver hits a protester and appears to run over her legs. People then began jumping on the hood of the car, which looks to be a dark-colored Subaru Outback. The woman hit was attended to by paramedics in the intersection before being wheeled into an ambulance. The woman was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Thankfully, her injuries were very minor. The driver finally stopped near E 31st Street and 42nd Avenue S. Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder said the driver, who is male, is cooperating with police and has not been charged with anything.
