Los Angeles Dodgers Fans celebrating the team’s eighth World Series title late Wednesday night erupted into a “hostile” crowd that saw “several projectiles” launched at LAPD officers, several businesses looted and even an MTA bus set on fire was stabbed, police said.

The chaos unfolded after the Dodgers overcame a five-run deficit to win the New York Yankees 7-6, in Game 5 of the World Series. Despite the victory in the Bronx, fans flooded the streets of downtown Los Angeles.
