Police say they believe the crash was intentional, and video seems to confirm this.
A video of the incident obtained by Crime Watch Minneapolis shows a scuffle break out around a group of about 20 people before two women run away from the scene, get in their vehicle, and then drive back into the crowd, seemingly on purpose.
Police told WCCO that both of the women in the vehicle were also taken to the hospital and one of them suffered “unintentional stab wounds.” Both of the women will be taken into custody after they are released from the hospital, authorities said. All involved are expected to survive.
