(Photo by KNN.News) Expand The protest, which began growing throughout Sunday afternoon, 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. Protesters appeared to pull signs off the stopped U-Haul, kick it and smash its passenger’s side window and rearview mirror before the truck accelerated towards the crowd, according to video from KNN, a freelance news organization. The protesters chased the truck after it moved through the crowd.  Two people were initially evaluated at the scene by firefighters and both declined treatment, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Shortly before 5 p.m., the LAFD reported the crowd appeared to be voluntarily dispersing. The truck was stopped several blocks away, surrounded by police cars, The Associated Press reported. Police didn’t immediately specify if anyone had been arrested. Southern California News Group reporter Andrea Klick contributed to this story.
