Louisville Metro police said no charges have been filed against the driver of a car that hit a protester in downtown Louisville Wednesday morning after she was identified.
Multiple videos captured the 46-year-old woman hit a protester with her car and driving off after several people attempted to stop her from continuing on Liberty Street.
A video provided to WHAS11 shows protesters telling a different car to turn around before her car approaches the intersection. Protesters then tell her to turn around, however her car does not move.
Three protesters can be seen gathering at the driver's window, though it is not clear what was said. In an arrest citation, the woman said they reached into her car, scratched her window and assaulted her, pulling out a dreadlock. The video shows the driver back up her car as the altercation takes place.
According to the arrest citation, the driver said she saw one person with a gun and drove forward, stating that "she was in fear for her life."
Louisville Metro police released footage captured on Real Crime Center cameras that shows the moment she drove off as several protesters run toward her car. The driver hits one person and continues down Liberty Street.
Cameras then captured the aftermath of the crash, showing people run down Liberty Street after the car. In a later recording, a different protester runs to the car and appears to point a gun at the driver. She drives away.

We know what happens if you stop for these folks. The moment it looks like its going to get nasty, you may as well punch it and go.
>>Kentucky is not New York. They DO have meaning here. It’s one of the reasons I moved here from Seattle.<<
I used to think about here in Dallas — even North Dallas (Irving).
I was wrong.
Jeez, we all have issues with the mods from time to time; but threatening to run them over is just a little too harsh.

Did the ripped out dreadlock give it away? I think if the driver was white she would have not been let off.
That same thought entered my mind.
i would believe anyone in a car in that situation
bullets go through car doors like butter, they are no protection for weapons fire
side windows are made to be shatterec
fear for your life, gun it and get the hell out of there no matter what
At this point in time, you’re absolutely stupid to stop for a protester. If they get in front of you and you hit them, keep going.
I wouldn’t stop for anything.
Hopefully the driver gets of on everything and a whole pile of the people in the street get prison terms.
And this is why the police are the enemy. The police will get worse in arresting those who defend themselves from the rioters.

If rioting terrorists surrounded my car, I would fear for my life. If I was on the jury, I would not care how many thugs she ran over - as long as she didn’t back over them again after taking them down.
Given their past record, I am wondering why they did it. If they had been doing it all along I would have thought nothing of it. But why the change? Everything happens for a reason.
Out in the streets all the time,every day? They’re going to be in trouble at their places of employment. /mega sarcasm
Drivers plowing forward against attacking ANTIFA Nazis is happening all across America.
Happened in a community near me. No charges.
“...pulling out a dreadlock.”
That is the only reason she wasn’t charged with anything.
Unlike the “white supremacist” in Seattle that ended up on the wrong street, was mobbed, and then he shot the guy punching him as he was trapped in his car. BTW - I didn’t realize that a Hispanic guy could be a “white supremacist”.
