Police are investigating two separate reports that drivers were attacked by members of a trucker convoy circulating Washington, D.C., for nearly three weeks, according to a new report.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating one incident that occurred on March 16 on the Francis Case Memorial Bridge and another on Sunday at Dupont Circle, according to the Washington Post. Police have not made any arrests or charges in either case as of Saturday morning.
The incident on the Francis Case Memorial Bridge involved a 33-year-old Virginia man who was riding into the district on his motorcycle when he got caught in the middle of the People’s Convoy that had been occupying Washington's streets for weeks, according to the report. As he was wading through traffic, the motorcyclist, who identified himself to local news outlets as Logan, apparently “flipped off” several truckers.

The second incident occurred days later when a woman identified as Kerry Bedard said a member of the convoy “struck her with his vehicle and drove on top of her right ankle,” according to a police report. Bedard, 73, had walked into the middle of the street to tell the truckers to stop honking while the traffic was at a standstill, the report said.The People’s Convoy arrived in Washington, D.C.
