Meanwhile a report of ABC affiliate KABC said aerials showed the truck that plowed into the Los Angeles rally in support of Iran demonstrations on Sunday (January 11). 


Video showed police cordoning off the U-Haul rental truck in the Westwood suburb of Los Angeles.


According to KABC, the Los Angeles affiliate for ABC, protesters quickly surrounded the truck and were seen smashing windows, and the crowd eventually pulled a man from the U-Haul. Law enforcement appeared to take him into custody.


KABC also reported that LAPD said two people were evaluated at the scene but declined medical treatment. Police confirmed that no ambulances were called to the protest.
