The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Police said a driver attempted to drive through a crowd of protesters near 2100 Swan Avenue, when protesters, according to the driver, crowded his vehicle and broke his windshield. He also said a protester jumped on the hood of his car.

Police said the driver continued to drive off with the protester on his hood. 

Video of the incident was captured, showing the moment the car drove through the protesters and the moment Flores got on the hood of the car.

After the incident, police arrested Flores, but not the driver. Which caused people to protest at the jail later that night, at one point rattling and damaging the Sally Port Gate.
