WATCH: Police Car Hits Protesters In San Diego; Fire In Oakland

The West Coast has erupted in a spate of firey protests following the death of George Floyd.

New video shows a moving squad car hit and drag a pedestrian in San Diego, California, as they cross the street during protests overnight.

The incident comes in the wake of the death of Floyd, who died last week in police custody. Riots that began in Minneapolis, where the event occurred, quickly spread across the U.S.

Former police officer Derek Chauvin was arrested last Friday on charges of third-degree murder and manslaughter.

Video emerged on Twitter in the early hours of this morning of the moment a police vehicle drove through a crowd at 6th and Broadway as the protester frantically tries to stop the car. A protester in white can be seen waving their arms, standing in front of the car as the driver honks the horn.

The car then continues to advance, dragging the protester along with it on the hood of the vehicle.

It follows a chaotic weekend of violence across America, including instances in New York where police squad cars hit several pedestrians. Viral video emerged over the weekend showing squad cars ramming into barricades in the city and knocking people down.

Preliminary reports also emerged this morning from an NYC emergency alert account that a New York police officer was hit by a car amid protests:

CNN reported that New York Mayor Bill De Blasio has appointed two people to be in charge of an investigation into the NYPD following the incident.

In new video from protests in New York over the weekend, a woman can be seen being beaten with batons by NYPD:
