A snow plow driver in Massachusetts reportedly faces charges of disorderly conduct and assault after witnesses said he intentionally sprayed a group of anti-Trump protesters with slush and ice on Presidents Day.

Falmouth police Lt. Douglas DeCosta told The Cape Cod Times on Tuesday that the driver, John C. Pimental, will soon be called to the Falmouth District Court to answer to the charges.

Witnesses told the local paper that nearly 55 demonstrators were outside at the Falmouth Village Green on Monday protesting President Trump Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE’s decision last week to declare a national emergency to secure funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Those participating in the protest told the newspaper that Pimental, an independent contractor, had approached them at an accelerating speed as he dropped the plow blade on his truck and began to spray slush on the demonstrators.

Pimental then allegedly parked his truck nearby the area where the demonstrators were protesting before he came down the street again, plowing more slush and ice onto the protesters.

“I saw the truck accelerating toward us,” one of the witness, Syrel Dawson, told the publication. “I turned my back so I wouldn’t get it in the face. My entire back and legs were soaked.”

“The actions of the plow driver were threatening and dangerous,” Christine Uljua, another witness who was nearby the site of the incident with her grandson, told the paper.

“This is our town green, and there is freedom of speech,” Uljua continued. “To try to tamp down productive dialogue is just not OK.”

DeCosta told the paper that the area where the incident occurred was not a part of Pimental’s plow route.

Sandra Faiman-Silva, who organized the demonstration, has since reportedly filed a statement with police.

“The average age of people who come out is over 65; I’m 72 myself,” she told the outlet.

“We come out to peacefully demonstrate. Occasionally people give us the finger, honk their horns or yell and gesture. We have seen some hostility, but nothing like this," she added.

The Cape Cod Times said they could not reach Pimental for a comment.
