PRAYER.
REINOEHL DESCRIBED HIMSELF AS
100% ANTIFA.
IT WAS TENSE MOMENTS IN
TIME'S SQUARE AS THE DRIVER OF
THE CAR YOU SEE PICTURED HERE
HIT THE GAS AND WENT THROUGH A
CROWD HITTING PROTESTERS.
IT WAS DURING A BLACK LIVES
MATTER RALLY.
JENNA DE ANGELIS HAS MORE.
Reporter: THIS MORNING
POLICE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR
THE DRIVER.
FORTUNATELY NOBODY REPORTED
GETTING HURT.
THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MARCH
WAS BEING HELD TO PROTEST THE
DEATH OF DANIEL PRUDE WHO
DIED AFTER AN ALTERCATION WITH
POLICE IN ROCHESTER.
DURING THE PROTEST THE CAR
RAMMED THROUGH THE CROWD.
CELL PHONE VIDEO SHOWS A BLACK
CAR WITH TINTED WINDOWS DRIVE
THROUGH A CROWD OF PROTESTERS
IN TIME'S SQUARE THURSDAY
EVENING.
THEY CHASE AFTER THE CAR IN THE
RAIN BUT THE DRIVER SPEEDS OFF.
A BLACK CAR CAME THROUGH THE
CROWD AND HIT THE PERSON IN
FRONT OF ME AND THEN ME AND
THEN, I BELIEVE, THE PERSON
BEHIND ME.
AND WE ALL HAD BIKES.
SO, THEY JUST CAME CHARGING
THROUGH.
HOW DID YOU FEEL?
IT WAS TERRIFYING.
Reporter: THE CAR COULD BE
SEEN WHIPPING AROUND THE CORNER
AFTER ESCAPING THE CROWD.
ACCORDING TO THE NYPD
THERE WAS A STAND OFF EARLIER
BETWEEN A BLACK LIVES MATTER
MARCH AND PRO TRUMP RALLY.
AS IT BECAME HEATED, OFFICERS
TOLD THE PRO TRUMP DEMONSTRATOR
TO LEAVE IN HIS CAR TAKING A
SPECIFIC ROUTE AROUND THE
PROTEST.
THE DEMONSTRATOR INSTEAD DROVE
THROUGH THE BLACK LIVES MATTER
MARCH.
THOSE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE
THERE PROTESTING THE DEATH OF
DANIEL PRUDE AT THE HANDS OF
ROCHESTER POLICE.
PRUDE WAS NAKED AND YELLING
WHEN OFFICERS HANDCUFFED HIM.
THEY PUT A SPIT HOOD OVER HIS
HEAD.
ONE OFFICER COULD BE SEEN
PRESSING HIS COVERED HEAD TO
THE GROUND UNTIL HIS BODY GOES
LIMP.
YOU HEAR HIM DON'T KILL ME.
THAT WAS A SIGN RIGHT THERE FOR
YOU ALL TO LET UP.
Reporter: THIS STARTED WHEN
PRUDE'S BROTHER CALLED 911
CONCERNED ABOUT HIS MENTAL
STATE.
SEVEN DAYS LATER, HE WAS TAKEN
OFF LIFE SUPPORT.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER RULED THE
DEATH A HOMICIDE CAUSED BY
COMPLICATIONS OF ASPHYXIA,
EXCITED DELIRIUM AND ACUTE PCB
INTOXICATION.
HE LEAVES BEHIND HIS DAUGHTER.
IT IS BREAKING MY HEART.
Reporter: THE MAYOR OF
ROCHESTER SUSPENDED THE SEVEN
POLICE OFFICERS INVOLVED AND
THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS
INVESTIGATING THE CASE.
NOW BACK HERE, THE NYPD ASKS
