Source: ABC7 local TV (Los Angeles)

As AIR7 arrived at the scene shortly before 3:30 p.m., a large group of people was seen surrounding the U-Haul. Some protesters were seen smashing windows, with tensions quickly escalating.

Eventually, law enforcement at the scene pulled a man from the U-Haul and appeared to take him into custody. As police walked the man away, some protesters were seen trying to punch him and hit him with flag poles.

Eyewitness News later learned that the man allegedly drove the U-Haul into the crowd during the planned protest. Video from the ground shows the moment he drove through, angering the crowd.

The video shows the side of the U-Haul says, "NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON'T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH." It appeared the protesters ripped several signs off of the U-Haul.
