NBC Chicago reported that the Chicago Police Department confirmed on Wednesday that a 66-year-old woman had been hit while standing in the road during Tuesday’s protest. Chicago Police Department officials explained that the woman received medical treatment at Northwestern Memorial Hospital after suffering a fractured arm. According to the Chicago Police Department, the 66-year-old was released from the hospital after receiving treatment and no other injuries were reported from the incident.
Nick Wozniak, a witness of Tuesday’s incident, told Fox 32 that people were “diving out of the way and the person [was] shouting and they kept barreling through the crowd.” Angel, another witness, told Fox 32 that the car refused to stop, “and the lady got knocked over in the process.” The witness added, “I don’t think she got hit by the car, but in the commotion of people running though the side.”
According to Fox 32, the majority of the protesters in Chicago were peaceful on Tuesday; however, some of the protesters vandalized police vehicles. The outlet noted that the city temporarily suspended public transportation in the downtown region as a result of the protests.
