Polícia envolvida (atualizados às 11:30)

Diversos usuários do Twitter compartilharam imagens dos carros, com as placas nítidas. Mas um vídeo esta manhã de sexta esclarece melhor a situação.

“Este é o carro que passou pelo protesto pela Times Square na noite passada, ferindo pelo menos duas pessoas. Estes são os apoiadores de Trump que atrapalharam o início do protesto. Essa é a polícia os escoltando enquanto eles entram no carro. E então esse é o carro batendo em nós“, assista:

This is the car that ran through the protest by Times Square last night, injuring at least two people. These are the Trump supporters who harassed the protest getting in. Those are police escorting them as they get in the car. And then that is the car running into us. https://t.co/HJcKyV8agP
