Motorcyclist detained for driving at protesters on SF street

Vehicle-ramming attack

A vehicle-ramming attack is a form of attack in which a perpetrator deliberately rams a motor vehicle into a building, crowd of people, or another vehicle.

Deliberate vehicle ramming into crowd of people is a tactic used by terrorists, becoming a major terrorist tactic in the 2010s because it requires little skill to perpetrate and has the potential to cause signficant casualties. Deliberate vehicle-ramming has also been carried out in the course of other types of crimes, including road rage incidents. Deliberate-vehicle ramming incidents have also sometimes been caused by the driver's psychiatric disorder.
