Haim Sirotkin, the driver who was recorded confronting the protesters and running them over, claimed that there was a malfunction in his vehicle. During the hearing, the suspect explained his actions: "My gas stuck, God forbid it was on purpose, I apologize" In the police report it was found that the vehicle was in good condition.
