A woman was ploughed down by a car in a hit-and-run in a Leicestershire village on Tuesday (October 25). The woman in her 40s is a member of anti-hunting group, Northants Hunt Saboteurs.
Officers were called to a report of a woman being struck by a car which had then left the scene in Braunston Road, in Knossington, close to the border with Rutland, shortly before midday. A spokesperson for Leicestershire Police confirmed the woman was taken to hospital with injuries that were said to be "not life-threatening or life-changing".
A video of the incident shared widely on social media showed a group of people who appeared to be monitoring a hunt, reports Leicestershire Live. The footage showed two riders passing a group of people walking along a wooded path, before a woman was seen being knocked off the path by a car.
