Dodger fans celebrate win with street takeover in East LA
LOS ANGELES - It was a chaotic scene Friday night after the Los Angeles Dodgers won Game 1 vs. the New York Yankees in the World Series.
SkyFOX was over a rowdy street takeover in East Los Angeles, which prompted a warning from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for fans to celebrate responsibly.
"Unruly, illegal behavior will not be tolerated," the sheriff’s department said. "This is a time for community pride and unity as we support our home team; however, it is essential that it is done safely."
SUGGESTED:
- Dodgers win World Series Game 2; Ohtani leaves early with injury
- Mom, daughter with cancer use Dodgers' World Series run for motivation
- Freddie Freeman's walkoff grand slam powers Dodgers past Yankees in World Series Game 1
As a result, the LASD deployed extra personnel throughout the county to prevent dangerous scenes like these from happening.
Illegal acts such as vandalism, public intoxication, and unlawful assembly are crimes, officials added.
"Such actions can detract from the joy of the occasion and compromise the safety of our community. Individuals engaging in illegal conduct will be held accountable."
The Dodgers beat the Yankees Saturday night to win Game of the World Series 4-2.
Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is at 5:08 p.m. PT.
