Black Lives Matter rioters hopped in a car and chased down a white Prius who had attempted to maneuver through their protest — causing a car accident and physically attacking the driver.
The shocking incident was captured by a local news helicopter.

“A person driving a white Prius was chased down and by protesters after trying to drive through the crowd in #Hollywood. The group that chased the driver began hitting the car and possibly broke a window,” CBS LA reporter Mike Rogers tweeted with the video.
As the reporter in the helicopter noted, the driver of the Prius did not seem to be attempting to run down any protesters, but was attempting to carefully maneuver through the crowd.
The Prius drove several blocks before a vehicle containing the rioters pulled up and cut them off. When they tried to back up to get away, they hit another car, the driver of which seemed to know the rioters in the other car.
The man who jumped out of the first vehicle began physically assaulting the driver through the window before they were able to escape.
The driver of the Prius was detained.
