LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Los Angeles Police Department reported that seven people were arrested Saturday night as Dodger fans took to the streets across the city to celebrate the World Series victory.
Among those arrested were three individuals charged with felony vandalism, one for failure to disperse, one for battery on a police officer, and one for possession of fireworks. Additionally, a woman was arrested after riding a bicycle into a police horse. Fortunately, the horse is reported to be unharmed.
In Echo Park, several businesses, driverless cars, and Metro buses were vandalized. LAPD officers issued a dispersal order at an intersection as large crowds of fans gathered, waving Dodger flags and shooting fireworks into the air. Some officers patrolled the streets on horseback, instructing people to leave the area.
Meanwhile, in Pacoima, video from AIR7 captured cars performing donut maneuvers at an intersection while onlookers ignited fireworks.
The LAPD went on Tactical Alert around 6 p.m. Saturday in anticipation of the celebrations and shut down streets in key areas to help manage the crowds. Dispersal orders were issued at Chick Hearn Court and 11th Street, as well as at Sunset Boulevard and Echo Park Avenue when crowds grew.
