Wild Celebrations in LA After Dodgers Win: What Went Wrong?

Los Angeles, USAThursday, October 31, 2024

It was a night of chaos in Los Angeles after the Dodgers clinched the World Series title. Crowds took to the streets, leading to a bus being set on fire, stores being looted, and firecrackers going off. Police made a dozen arrests in the early hours of Thursday morning. Videos showed people throwing objects at police as sirens wailed. The Los Angeles Police Department reported several violent and destructive celebrations, including the burning of a Metropolitan Transit Authority bus.

Officers used less-lethal weapons to control the crowds and will now work to identify those responsible for the crimes. Other footage showed fans standing on a bus with a Dodgers banner and people leaving a boarded-up store with sneakers. The extent of any injuries is unclear. The Dodgers plan a downtown parade and celebration at Dodger Stadium on Friday, but logistical issues mean fans can't attend both events.
