“On February 4, 2022, at 9:50 p.m., Winnipeg Police were advised of a motor vehicle collision near Broadway and Memorial Boulevard,” the police report read. “The initial information was that a westbound Jeep Patriot had driven through a group of protesters that were part of the Freedom Convoy at the Legislative grounds.”
“With the assistance of the RCMP, WPS officers were able to stop the vehicle in the 4800 block of Portage Ave. at approximately 10:30 p.m. The lone male driver was arrested after a brief struggle.
“The Jeep struck four adult males,” the report added. “Three sustained minor injuries that did not require medical attention. The fourth was treated in hospital and released.”
“Some comments he made after his arrest suggested that his motivation was not specifically about the underlying causes of the protests or the mandates,” public information officer Constable Rob Carver said in a press statement.
“I think police everywhere, and specifically in Winnipeg, view these situations as potentially volatile. There are strong opinions being expressed … anytime you have a situation like that there’s a potentially for tempers to flare and possibly some violence,” Carver told reporters. “We have done everything we can, or that we are prepared to do at this point to ensure the safety of people in the area.”
