A Long Island man is facing charges after striking protesters with his vehicle Monday evening at a Black Lives Matter march, police in Suffolk County said.
Authorities said Anthony Cambareri, 36, was driving his Toyota RAV4 westbound on Broadway in Huntington Station when he struck two protesters standing in the roadway around 6:45 p.m.
The two pedestrians were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.
Police said Cambareri fled the scene but was caught moments later.
Facebook user Matthew Showtyme posted video on Facebook reportedly of the driver stopped just after the incident.
