Supplemental Info:
The U-Haul truck incident occurred at the intersection of Veteran Avenue and Ohio Avenue in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. This area is a common site for Iranian-American protests, near the Los Angeles Federal Building at 11000 Wilshire Boulevard.
From real-time LAPD scanner reports via @AlertLosAngeles and circulating videos, the rally involved hundreds of anti-Iranian regime demonstrators when the truck (adorned with pro-regime banners) rammed through the crowd.
Multiple injuries were reported, with EMS initially unable to access victims due to the density of the gathering. One suspect was taken into custody amid crowd interference, and the LAPD bomb squad was called to inspect the vehicle.
A skirmish line was set up near Rochester Avenue and Veteran Avenue to manage the scene, with additional units from other divisions responding and crime scene tape established.
No fatalities confirmed, but the situation remains active—avoid the area if possible. Official LAPD updates may provide more as it develops.
