Abd’L-Malik Loubissi-Morris was accused of deliberately using a vehicle as a weapon to hit a pedestrian.

“I tried to run but I only got one step before the car smoked me in the right knee and I landed on top of the hood,” said Lisa David.

Two other people dove out of the way of the car.

The prosecutor alleged Loubissi-Morris was motivated by a perceived slight or concern the pedestrians had witnessed illegal drug activity.

Loubissi-Morris will be sentenced at a later date.

Immediately after the incident, David’s boyfriend pepper-sprayed and stabbed Loubissi-Morris in the face.
