An unruly crowd surged through a Southern California city's seaside downtown after the U.S. Open of Surfing, brawling, looting a bicycle shop, clashing with police and trashing property before authorities broke up the melee and made arrests, authorities and witnesses said.
Police from several cities were called in to quell the disturbance Sunday night in Huntington Beach. Several officers and people received minor injuries.
The weeklong surfing competition drew thousands of people to the Orange County city that bills itself as "Surf City USA."
A large fight broke out between some people in a crowd after the contest ended. When officers tried to break it up, the mob surged downtown, police Lt. John Domingo told KNX-AM on Monday.
