Driver pushes protester out of the way with their vehicle at Toronto's High Park

The City of Toronto is investigating the conduct of one of its employees who was seen pushing his vehicle into a protester at High Park on Wednesday night.

In a video of the incident, a man is seen slowly driving his vehicle into a woman who is blocking the roadway at the Bloor Street entrance, where dozens of people had gathered for a rally protesting council-approved changes to limit car access to High Park.

The woman, who was taking part in a counter-protest, was standing in a lane of traffic and holding a sign that read “ban cars” as she was pushed several feet by the vehicle.
