Los Angeles went into chaos on Wednesday night after the Dodgers won the World Series. Fans became aggressive, setting a bus on fire, fighting with the police, and looting stores. The Los Angeles Police Department shared videos of looters running in and out of a Nike store, stealing merchandise, and causing damage to multiple properties. Several businesses were looted, and a hostile crowd lit an MTA bus on fire near Dodger Stadium.
Videos and images showed looters calmly taking goods from the Nike store and a large crowd surrounding the burning bus. Emergency responders arrived quickly to monitor the fire and prevent it from spreading. Firefighters worked to extinguish the bus, which was left charred and destroyed.
The LAPD reported that officers were being attacked with rocks, bottles, and fireworks by the unruly crowd. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass emphasized that violence would not be tolerated during the celebrations. The city was on tactical alert, and a strategic plan was activated to protect communities and businesses.
Despite the chaos, the Dodgers’ victory was celebrated with fireworks and excitement in the streets. The team’s win over the Yankees led to plans for a victory event at Dodger Stadium and a parade in downtown Los Angeles. Fans were urged to celebrate safely and peacefully to avoid further incidents of violence and destruction.
