A U-Haul driver allegedly plowed into a massive crowd of protesters at an anti-Iran regime rally in Los Angeles on Sunday — injuring at least two people in a chaotic scene caught on video.
Authorities responded to the scene after the U-Haul truck drove into a sea of an estimated 3,000 people at the large demonstration in Westwood around 3:40 p.m. local time, an LAPD spokesperson told The Post.
The rental truck, which had the words “NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON’T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH” emblazoned on one side, was swarmed by protesters as tensions quickly escalated, according to harrowing footage obtained by KABC.
The truck had both pro-Iranian regime and anti-Iranian regime phrases written on both its sides, police said.
At least two people were hit and suffered minor injuries, cops said. Both declined to be transported to the hospital, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The driver, who has not yet been identified, was taken into custody, police confirmed.
Officers at the scene were spotted taking a man into custody after pulling him out of the truck, as angered protesters reportedly tried to punch and hit him with flag poles, the outlet reported.
