Zimmerman told Live Action News, “I was standing in the driveway and the abortionist ran over my leg [using his vehicle],” he said. “And then he had to reverse to get off my leg, so he ran me over twice.” He suffered a broken leg.
The sidewalk counselor's friends started a GiveSendGo campaign to help pay for Zimmerman's expenses caused by the injury. The description states,
"Mark suffered a broken leg from the attack and will have to have surgery to repair the fracture. At this time, we are raising funds to help with the medical bills for Mark and possible attorney fees as he considers legal action against the abortionist.What is deeply cruel and callous about this situation, according to witnesses, is that the abortionist got out of his vehicle after the attack and laughed at Mark as he lay injured on the ground. This particular abortionist has a repeated history of making threating comments, pulling into the driveway at reckless speeds in order to intimidate people, and swerving toward people who are standing on the public easement, the curb, or the edge of the clinic driveway behind a designated line (where people are legally permitted to stand)."
In an interview with Live Action News, Zimmerman also said the abortionist laughed after running over his leg. “He parked his car and came over when the police came, and was screaming at the police about how we always run in front of him — we don’t,” Zimmerman continued. “But I have four witnesses who saw what happened. So they gave a statement to police, and he was not arrested. He went about and finished his day by doing five abortions.”
Live Action News also reported that Roummel was previously arrested for attempting to hit Pro-Life Michigan Director Lynn Mills with his vehicle.
