LOS ANGELES (AP) -Rowdy revelers are surrounding cars that are attempting to leave Staples Center and random fights and bonfires are breaking out near the arena.
Television news footage showed several people jumping on a taxi Thursday night as it attempted to leave the area near the area after the Los Angeles Lakers win over the Boston Celtics. Someone opened a rear door of the vehicle while others rocked it back and forth. The taxi eventually made its way through the crowd and out of the area.
KCAL-TV helicopter footage showed a man being beaten by several people on Flower Street north of Olympic Boulevard.
The Los Angeles Fire Department says several people were treated for injuries outside the arena. Their condition is not known.
Los Angeles police say there have been four arrests, all for public intoxication.
