Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson was knocked to the ground by a motorcyclist who appeared to fail to stop at a pedestrian crossing after today鈥檚 counter-protest against British anti-transgender activist聽

In a statement, Greens co-leader James Shaw said Davidson was seeing a doctor after the incident and had reported the incident to police.

Davidson attended today鈥檚 rally to support trans and non-binary human rights and was injured by the motorcyclist after Parker left Albert Park under a police escort.

A large number of motorcyclists were in the area to support another rally held by Brian Tamaki.

Shaw said the news Davidson had been injured was upsetting and 鈥渨e are asking people to show care and love鈥.

鈥淲e ask everyone to give Marama and her wh膩nau some space and time to process what has happened.鈥

Shaw said the Green Party stood with its trans and non-binary wh膩nau.

鈥淎otearoa should be a place where everyone can live their lives without fear of hate or discrimination.鈥
