Protesters Arrested for Curfew Violation After Pursuit in Downtown Los Angeles
Downtown Los Angeles, CA – June 15, 2025 – The Los Angeles Police Department arrested several individuals early Sunday morning following a pursuit involving curfew violators in Downtown Los Angeles. The incident began around 12:30 a.m. near 3rd Street and Los Angeles Street, when officers observed a group of approximately five protesters refusing to disperse as required under the city’s overnight curfew orders. The individuals reportedly fled on foot, leading LAPD units to a parking structure south of 3rd Street along Los Angeles Street. An LAPD transport bus arrived at the location as officers coordinated their response. Although initial reports suggest some individuals may have temporarily evaded capture, many protesters were ultimately detained for curfew violations. The precise motive behind the protest remains unclear, though recent demonstrations in the area have involved political activism, social justice, and opposition to law enforcement policies.
