From what I've seen, it seems as if the car was attacked after an altercation and the driver has panicked and tried to drive off, which is when the people got run over
You have to be careful with videos posted, as they could have been modified, but I did see several of the car trying to reverse out of the crowd, but being attacked by at least two people, and then driving off forward into the crowd.
From those it does appear that he got into a bad situation and then panicked, you do have to wonder how/why he got into that situation in the first place.
