An altercation reportedly involving a man driving his car into a caravan of Trump supporters and then fighting with another man is currently being investigated by police in central California.
According to KEYT-TV Santa Barbara, a man was arrested on Sunday after driving his car into a pro-Trump parade after shouting profanities and throwing at least one bottle at parade attendees.
A video posted on social media appears to show 20-year-old Jacob Garza of Santa Maria, California, speeding through a stop sign in a BMW to engage with the Trump parade and ultimately being wrestled to the ground by a Trump supporter after crashing his car.
Garza reportedly caused the other vehicle to turn on its side, and two occupants of the vehicle were transported to a nearby hospital, with one suffering from a broken arm.
“Welcome to MAGA country motherf—er!” one man can be heard saying to Garza after wrestling him to the ground.

Garza was cited for reckless driving causing injury, and all witness statements were turned over to the local district attorney’s office, according to Santa Maria Police Sgt. Nate Totorica.
Several documented instances of violence directed toward Trump supporters have been reported across the country over the past several months, including in South Carolina, Delaware, and California.
