Hundreds of Black Lives Matter protesters were gathered in the rain in Manhattan’s Times Square when a motorist in a black Ford Taurus can be seen driving through a crowd that was blocking the street, according to Fox News.

The car stopped in front of the protesters in the street before driving through the protest and speeding away as protesters shouted at the driver.
“Are you f—ing kidding me?” one protester can be heard shouting.
One bike could be seen flying into the air, but it is unknown if anyone was injured at the scene.
“There is an ongoing investigation into an incident in Times Square involving a black Taurus sedan,” the New York Police Department tweeted Thursday night. “This auto is NOT an NYPD vehicle. There are currently no complainants. NYPD asks if there is anyone injured, please come forward.”
