The charge against Calor Ma Da Nescht, which was filed Tuesday by the Los Angeles City Attorney, is a misdemeanor.
During an interview last month, Ma Da Nescht told Eyewitness News it was a big misunderstanding.

"I had no intention to hurt anybody," he said. "The people who supported me with LAPD, they tried to open a clear path. I came to deliver the Iranian voices from inside Iran. Not what American people see on the TVs."
AIR7 captured exclusive video of Ma Da Nescht being pulled from the U-Haul by police. Protesters battled with Ma Da Nescht to get him to stop the truck.

Some Protesters believe Ma Da Nescht was targeting them based on the political messages he hung on his U-Haul, including one that read "No shah."
Just one person suffered minor injuries in the incident.
