One police sergeant, a 56-year-old female, sustained a broken leg after being run down by a large black pickup truck. The driver appeared to intentionally plow through a line of police officers attempting to block off a street from rioters.
Police officials say the sergeant sustained a broken leg and “various other injuries,” ABC6 reported. She is reported to be in stable condition Tuesday morning.
