Two women in Canada were filmed attacking protesters with hockey sticks at the Black and Indigenous Lives Matter rally on Saturday.
Winnipeg police say they are investigating an attack on a black man and an indigenous woman at a protest outside the Manitoba Legislative Body’s reasons, according to Winnipeg Sun.
One of the victims, Theo Landry, 29, said he and his friend were targeted by women in the car – one of them white – after he lay down for a while on the road.
“What happened on July 4, I was sad but not surprised,” he told the newspaper.
There were four people in the car when the car stopped and its passengers were allegedly shouting racial insults at Landry.
He told the newspaper that someone inside said if he “continued to protest he would be hurt.”
Landry said after he and the woman got up and retreated to the other protesters, the car drove back towards them and he sprayed water on the windshield of his car – pushing the car to stop.
That’s when a white woman came out, according to one video circulating online intended to show the incident, and chased after Landry and his friend.
Landry said he was hit twice in the arm by the first woman.
Another video shows a second woman in a car taking a hockey stick and hitting Landry’s head. He suffered a head laceration, according to Landry.
The attack made Landry “a little sick the next day, but psychologically where the biggest casualties were taken,” he told the newspaper.
“To know that there are people who would use such anger over water is very disproportionate.”
