Several arrests were made after violence and looting broke out in Los Angeles following the Dodgers’ World Series victory.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Several arrests were made after violence and looting broke out in the Los Angeles area overnight as the region celebrated the Dodgers winning their eighth World Series title in the history of the franchise.

Several crowds appeared throughout the city (Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles, downtown, near Dodger Stadium in Elysian Park, and more) to celebrate the championship victory. While most celebrations remained peaceful and festiveThings got out of control in some places.

Fans in East Los Angeles celebrated the Dodgers winning the World Series. Authorities later declared an illegal assembly.

Around 12:30 a.m. Thursday, Los Angeles police reported that a “hostile crowd” had surrounded an MTA bus and attempted to set it on fire near Sunset and Echo Park Avenue. Metro officials said the bus operator and five passengers on board managed to evacuate before it was set on fire.

“Metro is disappointed and angered by the senseless act of vandalism on one of our buses following the Dodgers’ World Series victory this afternoon,” the transportation agency said in a statement.

No arrests were made in that incident, but six people were detained after a group broke into a Nike store in downtown Los Angeles and stole boxes of merchandise.

Some people near a Dodgers celebration were seen breaking into what appeared to be a Nike store and leaving with boxes of merchandise.

The LAPD went on tactical alert around 9 p.m. Wednesday as large crowds gathered in other parts of the city. AIR7 was overhead and captured fans in Dodger uniforms waving flags and storming intersections.

Shortly after 11 p.m., police on horseback and dozens of people in riot gear began trying to clear a crowd near Broadway and 5th Street downtown.

AIR7 also captured several instances of street takeovers, with cars doing donuts and burning down.

The tactical alert was canceled around 3 a.m. Thursday morning.

In addition to the six people arrested for looting, police say two were arrested for failure to disperse and another four for stolen property.

A police officer was taken to the hospital, but details about the motive or the officer’s condition were not available.
