One protester was hospitalized after being struck by a pickup truck during a Breonna Taylor demonstration in Hollywood Thursday night.
The incident occurred at about 9 p.m. while hundreds of protesters marched down Sunset Boulevard. The driver then drove off and was initially detained by law enforcement a few blocks away from the scene before being allowed to leave.
The injured protester was taken to a hospital in unknown condition.
The largely peaceful demonstration began at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, 6000 Santa Monica Blvd., at about 7 p.m. where hundreds gathered to protest the grand jury decision in the March shooting death of Breonna Taylor by police in Louisville, Kentucky.
This is the second night of demonstrations in Los Angeles following a grand jury decision to not charge any of the officers directly for Taylor’s death.
