Actress Amber Tamblyn on Twitter said that a van driver attempted to drive into her and her baby as she crossed a street in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sunday and asked followers to help track him down.
“If anyone in Brooklyn near the intersection of Washington Ave and Atlantic Ave just saw a Hasidic man in a grey van try to hit a woman and her baby in a stroller a (sic) she crossed a crosswalk, honking and touching the stroller with the car’s bumper, please DM me,” she wrote. “That woman was me.”
The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star added in follow-up tweets that she and her child are “fine,” although “very shaken up.” She said she has experienced similar situations in the past.

“I hope this guy is caught,” the 34-year-old said.
Tamblyn, a prominent advocate of the Time’s Up movement, welcomed her daughter, Marlow, with husband David Cross in February of last year.
