Seems the Canadian media is protecting the thug who “allegedly” drove into a crowd of Freedom Convoy truckers in Winnipeg last night. The only information released on the driver is that he is 42 years old and from Headingley.
Winnipeg police have arrested and charged a man accused of hitting four men who were participating in a protest against pandemic restrictions with his SUV before speeding away on Friday night.
A man driving a white Jeep travelling westbound plowed through a group of protesters on the legislative grounds, hitting four men at about 9:50 p.m., Const. Rob Carver said at a news conference on Saturday.
Three sustained minor injuries that didn’t require medical attention, but one was taken to hospital, treated and released, he said.
“It’s pretty miraculous that nobody sustained any serious injuries,” Carver said.
The accused drove away from the legislature at high speed, running red lights, and about 40 minutes later was arrested in Headingley after a brief struggle, police said.
A man, 42, from Headingley is facing a number of charges, including four counts of assault with a weapon, dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to stop at an accident.
