Mostly peaceful vehicular assault.
The wrong-way driver who struck and seriously wounded a Manhattan cop on Wednesday afternoon is a known pro-Palestinian protester who allegedly targeted the officer, police reported.
The officer and a partner were guarding an abandoned vehicle at the location when the suspect, a female driver, came speeding northbound on Park Avenue’s southbound lanes.
Police say that the vehicle came to a stop as one of the cops approached to investigate before the female driver allegedly slammed on the accelerator and swerved into the male officer.
Sources familiar with the investigation said the driver allegedly yelled verbal insults at the officer when he approached the vehicle seconds before ramming the car into him.
Other stories have identified the driver as Sahara Dula.
The motorist, identified by police as 24-year-old Sahara Dula, of Brooklyn, was also hit with assault, reckless endangerment and impaired driving charges.
As police guarded that getaway car, an officer spotted Dula, who was behind the wheel of a gray Lexus, allegedly driving northbound in the southbound lane.
When the cop ordered her to pull over, the driver hit the gas and ran into the cop, sending him flying over the side of the car, authorities alleged. Dula was arrested at the scene.
The officer suffered leg and arm injuries.
And the officer she ran over appears to be black. So much for black lives mattering.

Sahara rockin’ her Lexus in the USA. She or her keeper can obviously afford repairs on it too. Glad the officer isn’t hurt worse. I didn’t see attempted murder of, much less assaulting a LEO in the charges, apparently, that’s not a thing anymore in NYC. Anyone that would try to kill a cop, is an even greater threat to civilian citizens. She’ll get a slap on the wrist, until she ‘gets it right,’ and kills someone.
I didn’t know Sahara was a woman’s name. I wonder what she was “impared,” with? Given the local DA, I’ll go with “mental illness,” it’s the go-to for jihadis and their supporters these days. The cops were guarding a “getaway car,” I wonder if she was involved in whatever crime it was? Why wasn’t the officer’s bodycam footage released so we could hear what she yelled at him when she ran him over? Any bets on that? Lotsa questions.

That guy got hit hard. That must’ve hurt.
And Sahara is a chick name. I used to know an Egyptian chick name Sahara.

why didn’t the cop shoot him. Thats the green lite.. Attempted murder of a police officer.

What a video! Perhaps the pro-protesting driver was inspired by car ramming attacks in Israel recently? it hard to tell who all the people are. But as I repeatedly have to assert, nyc people are helpful and kind and it seems several came to the aid of the officer.

Palestinian terrorist car-rammings happen all the time here. The savages have turned every possible object into a weapon of terror.

Are the authorities mystified as to her motive? Asking for a friend.

Blacks are a violent and lawless race. What is going on in America? White people are being overwhelmed by the minority blacks in every major city. Every city is run by blacks, it is the destruction of America by the Progressive white Democrats.
