A man has been charged after four people were injured when a Jeep ran into a group of protesters who were participating in the Freedom Convoy rally on the grounds of the legislature in Winnipeg on the night of Feb. 4.
The Jeep fled the scene down Portage Avenue, where witnesses said it was travelling at high speeds and running red lights. Winnipeg Police released a statement on Feb. 5 saying that with the help of the RCMP, they made an arrest about 40 minutes after being advised of the incident.
