The driver said she plowed forward because protesters surrounded her car and started banging on it.
She was stopped by police about a block away from where the incident occurred, and two people who ran after her were detained.
The woman was held for questioning.
The protesters were marching in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees who are participating in a hunger strike against the conditions at the Bergen County Jail, according to the Post.
