This was the scene on Hollywood Boulevard this afternoon after popular LA based DJ Kaskade sent out a tweet to his 90,000 followers promoting a party outside of the Grauman’s Chinese Theater. There was an event being held at the theater for 2,000 people to watch a documentary already when the mob started to grow outside. According to ABC’s news report:
Officers ordered hundreds of people to disperse, but the crowd refused and began throwing objects, Officer Karen Rayner said. Additional officers were called to the scene and were able to control the crowd several hours later.
“”There were people trampling all over the police cars, smashing the windows,” said Greg Magda, who works at a coffee shop on Hollywood Boulevard.
Two people were arrested for investigation of felony vandalism; three police cars were damaged, Rayner said. No injuries were reported.
A section of Hollywood Boulevard was shut down and a subway station under the famous theater and the next-door Hollywood & Highland entertainment complex was closed during the disturbance.
Don’t be sorry… Be Careful!
