World Cup celebrations descended into chaos Thursday night as rowdy Los Angeles fans took to the streets, leading to at least one shooting and unruly mobs wreaking havoc.
The violence unfolded after hundreds of fans gathered near Seoul International Park in Koreatown for the Mexico-South Korea match.
Before Mexico claimed a 1-0 victory, a gunman who had been shooting in the air shot a man in his 60s several times around 6:40 p.m. near Irolo Street and James M.
Wood Boulevard, one block from the park.
Police detained the unidentified suspect while the victim was transported to the hospital in unknown condition.
Fans were also seen jumping on vehicles and setting off fireworks in the area, prompting Los Angeles police to issue a tactical alert and form skirmish lines to disperse the fans.
Police officers could be seen lining up in the street and flag-waving fans stopped traffic.
Rule number 1 in Los Angeles.
