Regina police are investigating after a vehicle drove through a group of Wet’suwet’en supporters on Saturday.

Videos circulating on social media show a blue car driving through the crowd blocking the Albert Memorial Bridge.

One protester appeared to have been on the hood of the vehicle as it drove forward, while others banged on the driver’s side window.

According to police, no injuries have been reported and no charges have so far been laid. The investigation continues.

Saturday’s protest was held in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en Nation in British Colombia. The community is attempting to block construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline.

Rallies have been held across Canada since the RCMP moved in, enforcing a B.C. Supreme Court injunction that orders members of the First Nation to stop blocking access to the pipeline worksite.
