A motorist tried to rush into the crowd on Sunday in Seattle at a rally against racism following the death of Georges Floyd, killed by a police officer in Minneapolis, in the United States.
While the demonstration against police violence was taking place in calm, the man deliberately started the forward movement of his car. Several demonstrators then tried to block his way.
