Police reported the wrong-way driver who struck and seriously wounded a Manhattan cop on Wednesday afternoon is a known pro-Palestinian protester who allegedly targeted the officer.
This from frontpagemag,com.
Mostly peaceful vehicular assault:
The officer and a partner were guarding an abandoned vehicle at the location when the suspect, a female driver, came speeding northbound on Park Avenue’s southbound lanes.
Police say that the vehicle came to a stop as one of the cops approached to investigate before the female driver allegedly slammed on the accelerator and swerved into the male officer.
Sources familiar with the investigation said the driver allegedly yelled verbal insults at the officer when he approached the vehicle seconds before ramming the car into him.
Other stories have identified the driver as Sahara Dula:
The motorist, identified by police as 24-year-old Sahara Dula, of Brooklyn, was also hit with assault, reckless endangerment, and impaired driving charges.
As police guarded that getaway car, an officer spotted Dula, who was behind the wheel of a gray Lexus, allegedly driving northbound in the southbound lane.
When the cop ordered her to pull over, the driver hit the gas and ran into the cop, sending him flying over the side of the car, authorities alleged. Dula was arrested at the scene.
The officer suffered leg and arm injuries.
And the officer she ran over appears to be black. So much for black lives mattering.
