Los Angeles Dodgers fans celebrating the team’s eighth World Series title late Wednesday night erupted into a "hostile" crowd that saw "various projectiles" being launched at LAPD officers, the looting of several businesses and even an MTA bus set on fire, police said. 

The chaos unfolded after the Dodgers overcame a five-run deficit to beat 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.
