Several individuals sustained injuries when a truck crashed into a gathering of anti-Iran protesters in Los Angeles, causing chaos and fear. Video footage captured a U-Haul truck driving through a crowd of demonstrators, prompting people to scatter as the vehicle advanced. Eyewitnesses reported that the driver accelerated towards protesters carrying Iranian flags, seemingly trying to push through the crowd. The truck displayed a large banner stating, “No Shah, No Regime. USA: Don’t Repeat 1953. No Mullah.”

The incident took place during daylight on Veteran Avenue in the Westwood district, where a large group had gathered to protest against Iran’s Islamic Republic. Susie Shoshana, an eyewitness, filmed the event on her phone and described witnessing the truck plowing through the protest. Following the collision, demonstrators surrounded the truck, with some individuals breaking its windows as tensions rose.

Additional footage showed police officers pulling the driver from the truck while onlookers screamed nearby. As the suspect was taken into custody, some protesters attempted to physically engage with him, leading to police intervention to restore order. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that three people were injured by the truck during the incident.
