In a video of the incident, a man is seen slowly driving his vehicle into a woman who is blocking the roadway at the Bloor Street entrance, where dozens of people had gathered for a rally protesting council-approved changes to limit car access to High Park.

The woman, who was taking part in a counter-protest, was standing in a lane of traffic and holding a sign that read “ban cars” as she was pushed several feet by the vehicle.
