A U-Haul box truck has plowed into a crowd of people in Los Angeles showing support for Iranian protesters on Sunday.
In a footage circulating on social media platform X, demonstrators were seen attacking the vehicle as it drove down a street through the crowd.
According to KABC, the Los Angeles affiliate for ABC, protesters quickly surrounded the truck and were seen smashing windows, and the crowd eventually pulled a man from the U-Haul.
It was stopped several blocks away and surrounded by police cars. Authorities say the driver, a man who has not been identified, has been detained.
The police issued a statement saying one person was hit by the truck, but nobody was seriously injured.
KABC also reports that LAPD said two people were evaluated at the scene but declined medical treatment. Officials confirmed that no ambulances were called to the protest.
Hundreds of people had gathered in Westwood, LA to show support for people protesting in Iran.
