“The protesters surrounded the vehicle and began striking it with their hands and a flag pole. Several protesters also kicked and jumped on top of the vehicle,” police said.

The incident comes after a woman was killed in Charlottesville, Va., when a car drove into a crowd of counterprotesters at a white supremacist rally.
