Dramatic video footage has surfaced showing the moment a vehicle wildly reverses towards police at the Wellington protest.
The driver of the black car can be seen aiming the vehicle at dozens of officers standing together as a large group of protesters stands nearby.
The heart-stopping moment shows the vehicle revving forward before backing at speed towards officers - some of whom then attempt to smash the car's windows using their hand-held shields.

As the car reverses towards police, officers scatter in different directions as it looks as if the car will make impact. However, it stops short and drives forward again.
