Original Toronto Star caption: Strike violence: Two ambulance attendants prepare to take striker Gus Diakos to hospital with a suspected broken leg after a ready-mix concrete truck roared through a picket line and knocked him down today. Two dozen pickets; members of the Teamsters union; immediately jumped onto the moving truck after the incident and beat the driver. He managed to escape under a hail of rocks.
