Man drives car into Seattle protest crowd

According to The Guardian

A man drove his car into a crowd of protesters in Seattle on Sunday, then shot and wounded a demonstrator who confronted him as he came to a stop, according to police and eyewitness video.

Seattle police said firefighters took the man who was shot to the hospital and that he was in stable condition. No one else was injured, police said.

The suspect was seen in the video exiting his car as protesters began to surround it at about 8.30pm local time near the Seattle police department’s east precinct. He brandished what appeared to be a gun, dashed through the crowd and turned himself over to police.

The incident was in contrast to the mostly peaceful weekend protests sparked by the death of George Floyd last month while in Minneapolis police custody.

The injured protester, named as Daniel, 26, lifted his fist in the air as medics walked him off the scene. He said he had punched the man in the car in an attempt to disarm him after he drove into the crowd of demonstrators.
