Driver Tries to Plough Through Protesters Blocking Road in Bloomington (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – At least two protesters were left clinging to a vehicle for dear life after they attempted to block the car from driving through the scene of a protest in Bloomington, US state of Indiana.
It’s not clear what provoked the altercation. After a passenger in the car gets out to clear a scooter placed in the middle of the road, a woman can be seen in videos posted to social media, attempting to physically block the car from proceeding any further, RT reported.
The vehicle then takes off anyway – with the woman clinging to the hood. Another protester appears to jump onto the fleeing car from the side, perhaps attempting to stop the getaway.
At least one of the protesters – the woman seen clinging to the hood in the video – was taken away in an ambulance, while the other explained to local news that the pair had tried to stop the driver after she began “revving her engine” while waiting for protesters to clear the road. The protester, identified as Geoff Stewart, admitted he was “trying to block her vision so she would slow down,” and both protesters were thrown off the car when it made a sharp turn.
