Seven Arrested Amid Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Celebrations

Following the Los Angeles Dodgers' victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 World Series, celebrations erupted across Los Angeles, resulting in seven arrests on charges including battery of a peace officer, felony vandalism of a Metro bus, failure to disperse, possession of fireworks, and injuring an animal after a woman allegedly collided her bicycle with a police horse. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) had anticipated large gatherings, initiating a Tactical Alert and closing streets around LA Live to manage crowds. Despite efforts to maintain order, some celebrations turned disorderly with reports of industrial-sized fireworks being launched at police, leading officers to use less-lethal munitions such as tear gas and mounted police to disperse crowds, particularly in areas like Sunset Boulevard and Echo Park. These incidents, though serious, marked a decrease in arrests and unrest compared to the previous year's World Series celebrations. LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell urged fans to celebrate responsibly ahead of the planned championship parade and event at Dodger Stadium. Road closures and heightened police presence are expected to continue during the upcoming parade through downtown Los Angeles.
