One person, whose name is Tom Leon Hardt, got clipped with a horse from behind. The horse stepped on the back of his ankle, even though the policewoman on the horse had not given him a warning. When he turned around to see what was happening, the police woman on the horse said "Keep moving." He fell onto the ground and had trouble walking. Two medics came to tend to his injury. It was an unprovoked move by the policewoman to move him with her horse, and he is now injured.
