Driver charged after ploughing into Los Angeles nightclub crowd, injuring 30

A driver was charged with assault after ploughing into a crowd outside a Hollywood nightclub early on July 19, police said, injuring 30 people, with bystanders attacking and shooting the driver before he was detained by authorities.

The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez, was charged on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) spokeswoman Rosario Cervantes told AFP.

Ramirez had been “undergoing surgery” at a local hospital after suffering a gunshot wound from the incident.

“He is not free to leave, he is in the custody of Los Angeles Police Department,” LAPD Commander Lillian Carranza told local news station KCAL.

Ramirez had been kicked out of The Vermont Hollywood nightclub in East Hollywood before he deliberately rammed his vehicle into the crowd, US media reported.

Based on reviewing a video of the incident, “when he hit bystanders, it was an intentional act”, the Los Angeles Times quoted LAPD Captain Ben Fernandes as saying.

The crowd pulled Ramirez out of the car, reportedly a Nissan Versa sedan, and attacked him in the chaos that followed the car ramming, which took place around 2am (5pm, Singapore time), police detailed.

So, he did this because he got kicked out of nightclub.

Such a manchild.
