Authorities say a 7-year-old boy riding a motorized bike was hit and killed by an ice cream truck in South Los Angeles and residents then attacked the driver.
Officer Nuria Venegas, a Los Angeles police spokeswoman, says the truck hit the child shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday, and he later died at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Police say the child had been riding alongside the truck, and the collision was an accident.
Venegas says a crowd then attacked the ice cream truck driver, but he only received bruises.
The driver told police bricks were thrown at his truck and someone threatened him with a knife.
The identities of the boy and driver haven't been released. It's unclear who attacked the driver.
Police say the driver will not be charged.
