SEATTLE — Astonishing video shows a minivan running over a skateboarder in Crown Hill after a violent confrontation.

The video, taken from a Metro bus Oct. 20 on 15th Avenue Northwest, shows Otis Harris’ minivan at a stoplight in a right turn lane. It shows a man striking the front of his van with a skateboard, then Harris running him over. “The guy that started it was the guy with the skateboard,” Harris told KIRO 7.

Harris said the skateboarder was standing in the lane, keeping him from turning. He said the young man gave him the finger and yelled racial slurs when he asked him to move. “So I made an attempt to go around him. As you can see, the car lurched a little forward to get him to step to the side.” Harris said. Harris told police he might have bumped the skateboarder.
