The roadblocks by the action group “Last Generation” often cause resentment among drivers – but in Stralsund in northern Germany, a truck driver clearly went too far. After attempting to drag the protesters off the road, he got into his vehicle and purposely hit a young man.
Incredible scenes unfolded on the Heinrich-Heine-Ring on Wednesday afternoon when activists clung to the road at around 2:30 p.m. A truck driver got out of his car and violently tried to drag people off the road. He became extremely violent and even threatened to punch a protester in the face
The police hadn’t arrived yet
When that failed because the demonstrators immediately took their seats again, he got back behind the wheel and accelerated. He drags one of the activists a few meters in front of his vehicle. Another video shows how the truck driver gets back into the car after the action and drives through the demonstrators. The incident happened before police arrived on the scene.
Around 4 p.m., the management managed to lift the blockade by removing people who were stuck on the road. Now the police are looking for the aggressive driver. According to the “Ostsee-Zeitung” he would work for a medical gas dealer and be known to the authorities.
According to the “Berliner Zeitung”, the activist should have been unharmed. He froze and was frightened, police said.
