More than two dozen people were hurt when a vehicle careened into a crowd of people in front of a nightclub in East Hollywood overnight, authorities said. The driver was then pulled from his vehicle, beaten and shot.
Initial reports of a car colliding with a crowd came in around 2 a.m. Saturday in the 4600 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The popular Vermont Hollywood venue is located within that block.

His condition as of 8 a.m. Saturday was not known.
A law enforcement source informed KTLA shortly before 8 a.m. that the man behind the wheel of the car had been removed from the venue for being disruptive and was turned away again after leaving and coming back. Visibly upset, the man left, got into his car and drove to Vermont and Santa Monica, where he made a U-turn and drove onto the sidewalk, hitting the taco stand and valet podium before careening into the crowd.
The shooting is being investigated as a separate incident and no arrests were immediately made in connection with it.
