A man behind the wheel of a silver-colored minivan is in custody after going on a high-speed rampage in downtown Los Angeles amid chaotic civil unrest.  

Hours after announcing the start of three separate, then-peaceful anti-ICE protests throughout L.A., LAPD’s Central Division announced that the city was on Tactical Alert at 2:30 p.m. as the crowds grew unruly. 

As the day wore on, tensions and clashes between protestors and law enforcement escalated.  

At around 9 p.m., Sky 5 was over the scene of a motorist doing donuts in reverse in a downtown intersection as people on the street launched bottles, rocks and other items at the motorist.

The man behind the wheel of the van, dressed in a pair of shorts and shoes, drove erratically throughout downtown, taking corners at high speeds, running at least one red light and nearly hitting pedestrians.  

After escaping the angry crowd throwing items at the vehicle, the suspect returned, driving at high speed right at pedestrians on a sidewalk before coming to a quick stop.  

The man eventually left the downtown area, parked the vehicle and was quickly arrested by members of the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.  

The incident in its entirety can be viewed in the video player above.
