Video footage has surfaced showing thousands of Minneapolis protesters scattering as the driver of a tanker truck sped towards the crowd on the highway.
When the truck eventually stopped, the crowd immediately rushed to swarm the massive vehicle. It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone was injured.
Interstates in the city have been closed since 5 p.m. so it’s unclear how the truck was able to get that close to the protesters.
