Fireworks, street takeovers pop up across Los Angeles after Dodgers win World Series

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Fans across the Southland Wednesday night went wild as soon as the Dodgers beat the Yankees to win their eighth World Series title in franchise history.

Several crowds popped up in Los Angeles - Whittier Boulevard in East L.A., downtown, near Dodger Stadium in Elysian Park and more - in celebration of the championship win.

The LAPD later issued a dispersal order in the area of Sunset Boulevard and Vin Scully Avenue near Dodger Stadium and at 9th and Flower streets. In East L.A, authorities also declared an unlawful assembly and tried to disperse the crowd.

AIR7 was over city and captured fans in Dodger gear waving flags and taking over intersections.



Just after 11 p.m., police on horses and dozens of others in riot gear began trying to clear out a crowd near Broadway and 5th Street in downtown.

Some people in the area were later seen breaking into what appeared to be a Nike store and leaving with boxes of merchandise.

At around 12:30 a.m. Thursday, LAPD reported that a "hostile crowd" had surrounded an MTA bus and tried to set it on fire near Sunset and Echo Park Avenue.



AIR7 also captured several instances of street takeovers, with car doing donuts and burnouts.



While fireworks began to light up the night sky, other fans celebrated by lining up at DICK'S Sporting Goods in Pasadena to grab championship merchandise.

Meanwhile, part of the Hollywood sign was also lit up in tribute to the Dodgers - it was just one of many L.A. landmarks taking on a Dodger blue color to celebrate the big Game 5 win.

Fans at Cosm in Inglewood erupted in cheers when the final out was recorded. As many as 1,400 people packed the three-level venue to watch the Boys in Blue on one of the biggest screens in town.

"It wasn't looking to good, but these Dodgers, they never give up," Canrado Guerrero of Lincoln Heights said. "And we as fans, we never gave up either."



On Friday, a parade will be held to celebrate the Dodgers' championship win.



Starting at 10 a.m., ABC7 will carry live coverage of the Dodgers World Series parade on air and via our streaming platforms.
