Multiple videos have surfaced on social media showing a Tacoma, Washington police cruiser ramming through a crowd of people and running over at least one.
Reports indicate that the police were responding to an illegal street race at the location and upon the officer's arrival, one of the cars sped off trying to escape apprehension. The race spectators attempted to impede the officer by blocking the vehicle.
The spectators began beating on the police cruiser. The officer tried backing up but was blocked from behind a well. The officer reportedly feared for their life and accelerated through the crowd to escape the potentially life-threatening situation. The incident is being investigated by an outside agency.
