Driver hits two protesters near Brooklyn Bridge, NYPD car clips cyclist

A driver hit two protesters near the Brooklyn Bridge late Tuesday — with an NYPD car sideswiping a bike rider while in pursuit, according to video and police.

The 21-year-old man driving a Volkswagen sedan “aggressively” tried to force his way through a large group — out to mark the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder by a former Minneapolis cop — holding up traffic on the Brooklyn side of the bridge, the NYPD said. One of the protesters leaped on the man’s car, and he drove off with the person still clinging on top — hitting another in the group as he sped away, according to the cops.
