Sunday's surprise group stage victory for Mexico over Germany in the 2018 World Cup led to celebrations across Los Angeles, but certain pockets of celebrations seemed to take a dangerous turn.
In Huntington Park, there was footage of cars spinning in circles dangerously. Crowds gathered in various pockets and forced a police response from East LA to as far south as Santa Ana.
In one particularly dangerous episode, a man wearing a green shirt was filmed lighting a firework and aiming it at a wall of police officers assembled in riot gear. Officers disbursed and seemed to be unharmed by the flying explosive, but the man was arrested.
Another person was also arrested for doing donuts and driving recklessly in the Huntington Park area.
Over the course of the day, crowds took over roadways and forced police to respond at various points. For the most part, though, jubilant fans of the Mexican national team were celebrating without resorting to violence or forcing widespread arrests.
