Car Drives Into Protesters in New York City, Leaving 7 Injured

During a protest held on Friday in Manhattan, New York, a car drove into a group of demonstrators. This was reported by TASS, citing a local ABC affiliate.

It has been noted that 7 people were injured. Several of the injured have been hospitalized, but their lives are not in danger. The driver of the vehicle was a woman, who did not attempt to leave the scene; she spoke with police officers present. There have been no reports of her arrest.

According to Fox News, the protesters were rallying in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, which has been actively involved in mass protests across the United States following the murder of African American George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd died after being restrained by police, which has led to significant public outcry. Four officers involved in the arrest have been fired, and charges have been filed against them.
