Per NBC News:
A bus was set on fire, shops were looted and fireworks thrown at police in scenes of lawlessness and “absolute chaos” in downtown LA following the Dodgers’ historic World Series win over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.
LAPD said at 10:43 p.m. (1:43 ET Thursday) on X that there were reports of several stores being looted on Broadway and 8th Street. Various videos posted to social media, including one shared by the official LAPD X account, showed people walking out of a Nike store holding goods.
An unknown number of people have been arrested in connection with the disturbances.
Police issued a dispersal order because of fireworks and projectiles being thrown at officers. Then a “hostile crowd” surrounded an MTA bus on Echo Park Avenue, a short distance from the Dodger Stadium, at around 12:35 a.m. (3:35 a.m. ET) and set it on fire, police said.
The driver and five passengers managed to leave the bus before the fire started, the transport authority said.
The Dodgers defeated the Yankees 7-6 to win the World Series after the Yankees blew a 5-0 lead in the 5th inning.
