Picketing Medieval Times workers were nearly run over by a car during a protest in Buena Park, California on Thursday night.
The confrontation reportedly began when a woman slowly drove her vehicle towards the group. A passenger got out of the car and shoved the workers, some of whom were knocked down to the concrete.
“No one knew what was going on. It was pretty frightening,” a protestor told FOX 11 Los Angeles.
Video shows the car approaching the protestors while people are yelling. A woman who was recording the encounter was shoved into the bushes with her phone in hand.

FOX 11 Los Angeles reported that the suspect was put into custody and identified as a guest.

Fox News Digital reached out to Medieval Times and Buena Park Police Department for statements, but has not heard back.
