Officer plows car through crowd, injuring two
TACOMA, Wash. — At least two people were injured when a police officer responding to a report of a street race plowed his car through a
crowd of pedestrians who had gathered around him and were pounding on the car’s windows in downtown Tacoma on Saturday night, officials said.
The incident happened just before 7 p.m. as about 100 people were blocking an intersection and watching several cars spinning in circles, police told The News Tribune of Tacoma.
A police car arrived,
then drove through the crowd after people tried to block the vehicle, a witness said.
Video on social media shows the police car hitting several people and running over at least one person.
