Picketers hit by car in Fort Worth, Texas

Two picketers were struck by a car Wednesday morning as they protested outside of a Fort Worth, Texas, Bell Helicopter plant.

The driver was 76-year-old Cullen McNair, a nonunion Bell Helicopter employee. McNair accelerated his vehicle as two picketers were walking between cars, knocking both victims to the ground.

McNair was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, a second-degree felony that could land him in prison for up to 20 years.

Approximately 2500 Bell Helicopter manufacturing workers went on strike one month ago at several plants in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Negotiations resumed for a fourth time on Wednesday.

The victims suffered only minor injuries.
