A man has been charged for allegedly accelerating his car at a Palestine peace march demonstrator in Victoria earlier this month.

The man faces one count of assault with a weapon and one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, Victoria police said on Friday. The man is currently in custody after he was arrested on Dec. 3, and subsequently released.

His charges stem from an incident at the B.C. legislature that coincided with an event called Unite for Peace: March for Palestine. Police said the man drove onto the sidewalk as he accelerated his vehicle at a demonstrator, nearly striking the pedestrian.

In the video posted on social media, the driver is also seen getting out of his car and approaching another attendee of the demonstration who was watching the situation unfold.
