Moment protesters swarm tanker that drove into Minneapolis crowd

This was the scene immediately after a large tanker drove towards a group off protesters on the I35W bridge in Minneapolis on May 31.

Footage shows protesters running alongside and climbing atop of the vehicle that drove at speed towards the crowd.

Peaceful protesters were on the bridge demonstrating against the police killing of George Floyd.

The filmer, Devin Crowe, said: "Protesters were peaceful sitting on the 35W bridge waiting for a speaker to talk when the semi drive through the crowd.

"The semi injured some and caused police to tear gas the protesters on the bridge.

"The driver was attacked but some protected him and the police arrested him soon after."
