Los Angeles police responded after somebody drove a U-Haul box truck down a street crowded with marchers demonstrating in support of the Iranian people. Protesters scrambled out of the way and then tried to attack the driver. The truck was stopped blocks away and surrounded by police cars on Sunday. ABC7 helicopter footage showed officers keeping the crowd at bay as demonstrators swarmed the truck, throwing punches at the driver. The police department confirmed its officers were on the scene but didn’t immediately say if anyone was arrested. The fire department says two people were evaluated by paramedics and both declined treatment.
