Running down protestors is becoming a thing

One protester was injured on Wednesday night after a pickup truck drove through a group of protesters marching in Buffalo, N.Y.

Video captured by WKBW shows the truck accelerating toward a group of people in the street before there is an audible bang.

Protesters are heard screaming, and several are seen attempting to run after the truck as it drives away from the scene.

During a similar protest in Denver, a driver also struck at least one protester. No injuries were reported, and the driver was reportedly detained.
