Los Angeles police officers were hit with fireworks and bottles during street celebrations after the Dodgers World Series win late Saturday, prompting police to authorize the use of tear gas to quell the chaos.

Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Division announced early Sunday that less-lethal munitions and tear gas had been authorized around Olympic Boulevard and Grand Avenue.

“CS gas has been authorized by the Incident Commander,” an X post read. “Officers are being hit by industrial size fireworks and bottles.”

It was not immediately clear whether any officers were injured.
