A man in a U-Haul truck plowed through a crowd of protesters marching in support of regime change in Iran on Veteran Avenue, just north of Ohio Avenue, in Westwood Sunday.
Two people were initially evaluated at the scene by firefighters and both declined treatment, while a third person was shortly later being evaluated by paramedics, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The protest included hundreds of people who flocked to an area near the Federal Building at the corner of Veteran and Wilshire Boulevard to show support for the nearly 600 Iranians who lost their lives demonstrating against the economic crisis in the Middle East.
