Los Angeles erupted in celebration Sunday night as Dodgers fans took to the streets to mark the team’s 10-5 victory over the New York Mets, clinching their spot in the 2024 World Series.

One of the largest street takeovers occurred at the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Olympic Boulevard in East Los Angeles, where hundreds of fans gathered shortly after the final out at Dodger Stadium. Videos captured the chaotic scene, with vehicles doing burnouts, fans lighting fireworks, and waving Dodgers flags in celebration.

Some fans took their excitement to extremes. One individual wearing a clown mask was seen slapping the back of a passing California Highway Patrol vehicle, while others blocked traffic and partied in the streets.

Law enforcement, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, responded to the scene to disperse the crowd. Officers, equipped with riot gear, used tear gas to break up the celebration and regain control of the intersection. It was unclear whether any arrests were made during the incident.

Similar fan-led takeovers occurred in other parts of Los Angeles County as the city celebrated the Dodgers’ advancement to the World Series. Law enforcement continues to monitor key intersections for further disturbances.

The Dodgers’ victory marks another chapter in their storied rivalry with the New York Mets and sets up the Boys in Blue for a highly anticipated World Series appearance. For fans across Los Angeles, Sunday night was a moment of joy and pride, though the celebrations led to scenes of disorder across the city.
