WATCH car RAM into group of police in Buffalo, New York amid heated protests & unrest
A car has plowed through a crowd of police in upstate New York, leaving two officers with serious injuries. The moment of the attempted ramming was caught in harrowing footage shared online.
As heated and sometimes violent protesters made their way through New York City on Monday night, similar demonstrations also broke out upstate in Buffalo. But as police cleared protesters from an intersection around the city’s E District police station, an SUV was filmed as it rammed through the group of officers, who quickly scattered, and sped away down the road.
