VIDEO: Black SUV nearly hits group with anti-Trump signs in Nob Hill

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A new video shows the tense moments between a driver and two protestors along a busy stretch of Central. You can see a driver rammed a truck and tried to hit two people. It took a gun to stop him. Police say it stemmed from anti-Trump signs.

“We are working with some of the victims in this case and we are trying to use them to help us get to an arrest in this case,” said Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina. “We do have great video of the incident itself, so that is a big plus.”

The video shows a black SUV crashing into a small pickup truck near the Cold Stone Creamery in Nob Hill on Saturday afternoon. Police say two men in their pickup truck were displaying anti-Trump signs in the bed of the vehicle. Witnesses at the scene told police the black SUV stopped and started to argue with the two men. They told police the driver of the SUV got out and threw a bottle at them. That’s when one of the men holding the signs sprayed the driver with mace.

“I’m confident in our abilities of our detectives,” said Chief Medina. “I’m confident in the technology that has been invested in the Albuquerque Police Department and I think it’s a matter of time before our officers will be looking for an arrest warrant in this case.”

Witnesses explained to police the driver left the area, came back, and rammed the pickup from behind, nearly hitting one of the men on the tailgate. The video shows one of the men pulling out a gun and aiming it at the driver. The black SUV then drives off.

Police have not said if they were able to get the driver’s plate number.
