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