Car drives through crowd at race in US

At least one person was injured after a police car plowed through a crowd of pedestrians Saturday night who watched a downtown street race, the Tacoma News-Tribune reported.

The incident happened just before 7 p.m. when a crowd of about 100 people watched several cars spinning in circles in a downtown street; police told the newspaper.

A police car arrived at the scene; then it drove through the crowd after people tried to block the vehicle, a witness said.

A video posted on social media shows that the police car drives over something or somebody. Another video from the same scene and posted to Twitter shows the vehicle driving over a person on the ground.

Tacoma police spokeswoman Wendy Haddow told the News-Tribune that police were notified shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday of the street racers.
