A modified tactical alert was activated on Saturday night when officers faced off with a large, disorderly crowd near a special event in downtown Los Angeles, authorities said Sunday.
The Los Angeles Fire Department reported that a fire marshal was dispatched to First and Hill streets at 6:45 p.m., where “a large crowd” was “acting unorderly and causing possible property damage to a passenger service vehicle,” LAFD spokeswoman Jennifer Middleton said.
The incident took place at an event sponsored by a skateboarding magazine, according to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Division.
“People attending the event vandalized property and failed to disperse when requested to do so,” according to a police statement. “As officers continued to attempt to disperse the crowd, a person riding a skateboard at speed, attempted to run into a line of officers. Others threw bottles and skateboard parts at the line of officers.”
One injured person was evaluated by paramedics, Middleton said. The patient’s gender, age and condition were not available.
“Officers were able to clear the streets with less than lethal tactics and the damaged vehicles and vandalized property is being documented,” police said in the statement.
