Mob of Partygoers Vandalizes Metro Trains and Property in Downtown LA; Officer Injured

 Los Angeles, CA, May 25, 2025 — In the early hours of Sunday morning, chaos erupted in downtown Los Angeles as a large group of individuals spilled out from a nearby warehouse party and began vandalizing public property, including Metro trains, police vehicles, and surrounding businesses. The incident unfolded around midnight near Washington Boulevard and Maple Avenue in the heart of DTLA. According to eyewitnesses and preliminary reports, partygoers poured into the streets and began targeting two stationary Metro trains—banging on windows, tagging cars with graffiti, and terrorizing passengers. Numerous other properties in the area also suffered damage amid the rampage. As LAPD units responded to the scene, some individuals in the crowd reportedly threw objects at officers and defaced law enforcement vehicles. The situation grew increasingly volatile, prompting the LAPD to disperse the crowd and attempt to restore order. At least one police officer was injured during the incident and was transported Code 3 (with lights and sirens) to a nearby hospital in unknown condition. Officials have not confirmed the extent of the officer’s injuries or whether arrests were made during the incident.
