Footage shows truckie wrestling climate protesters

The German man was driving a truck for an airgas company, which delivers oxygen to hospitals in Stralsund, when a group of protesters blocked his path.

After coming to a screeching halt, he was filmed getting out of the truck then grabbing one of the men from behind and dragging him off the road.

He was then shown shoving another protester sharply into the ground and holding his fist up in their face.

The protesters returned to their seated position in front of the truck, but only for the driver to drive straight towards them.

While one was pushed out of the path of its wheel, the other was forced backwards by the truck’s force.

Onlookers could be heard yelling from behind the camera at the distressing scene unfolding in front of them.

The frustrated truckie once again got out of the vehicle and pulled the man out of the way.

According to German publication BILD, the driver handed himself in about 30 minutes after leaving the scene.

“When the officers arrived, the truck driver had already fled,” a police spokesperson said.

“He came to the Grimmen police station and turned himself in. After consultation with the public prosecutor’s office, his driver’s license was immediately revoked.”

The driver is reportedly being investigated for bodily harm and dangerous intervention in road traffic.

The incident also saw him lose his job, the publication reported.

“We are shocked and saddened by the behaviour shown. We found out about the incident at 5pm and immediately informed the forwarding company that this driver should no longer drive for us,” a spokesperson for his employer, Air Liquide, said.

There seems to be growing frustration with climate action protesters among motorists, with the public complaining the police have taken too light of a hand to keep them in order.
