WATCH: Man With Bow & Arrow Taken Down by Salt Lake City Protesters

A man showed up with a bow-and-arrow in the middle of a Salt Lake City protest, but the protesters surrounded and took him down, jumping on his car and, by some accounts, setting it on fire, according to viral videos of the incident.

The videos show the man pointing a bow-and-arrow at protesters, who then surround and jump on him. One man comes at the guy with a skateboard. People also throw things at him. According to KSTU-TV, the man claimed his name was Brandon McCormick and said he pulled up on scene to help officers because he had weapons. He gave an interview “blooded and bruised.” However, the TV station reported that citizen videos, which you can watch below, instead show him randomly pointing the bow-and-arrow at people.

Knucklehead. If the police want your help, they'll flash the bat-signal in the sky, Brandon.

Unless he has the skill to reload quickly, he should have known he would be toast as soon as he fired his first arrow.

Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids...

So, I'm thinking he didn't vote for Hillary. Pretty sure he's a Trump voter.

Who knows what that car could have become had they not destroyed it?

Obviously, the guy was some kind of superhero with a bow...

He stepped into a hornets nest and thought there would be no retaliation.

I am glad he did not get killed.

He may have been a plant as well, he sure had the IQ of one...
