Authorities are searching for more victims after a man drove into crowds during anti-ICE protests in downtown Los Angeles.
On June 8, the male driver in a silver Honda Odyssey minivan was seen driving erratically near Alameda Street and Bauchet Street around 9:20 p.m.
The area was filled with people who were protesting the immigration raids taking place across the Southland.
Sky5 footage captured the man striking several pedestrians while driving menacingly towards the crowds. He was seen driving the wrong way at times, while side-swiping nearby vehicles and ignoring street lights.
He drove at high speeds throughout downtown as angry pedestrians ran after him and threw items at his van, including an object that smashed the rear windshield.
He eventually parked in a commercial area near South Savannah and East 1st streets before getting out of his vehicle. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies quickly arrived and took him into custody.
He was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a loaded firearm. His identity was not released.
Detectives are searching for more victims who were injured during the rampage. The suspect’s vehicle is a 2010 silver Honda Odyssey minivan with California license plate 8XSZ585.
Anyone with information can call the East Los Angeles Station watch commander at 323-264-4151.
Anonymous tips can be provided to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at lacrimestoppers.org.
