A truck appeared to drive through a crowd of people in Minneapolis celebrating Derek Chauvin's guilty verdict in George Floyd's death on Tuesday.

Video of the incident, posted by journalists Grace Morgan and Samantha Hendrickson, shows the truck quickly being surrounded by people as it turned into the crowd. Some demonstrators bang on the windows of the truck.

The truck blares its horn and continues to move forward, with members of the crowd scattering out of the way.

It's not immediately clear if anyone was hurt during the confrontation.

Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's murder.
