Eight people were arrested and several officers were injured Sunday night in a confrontation between beachgoers and Huntington Beach police following the U.S. Open of Surfing.
Police were still assessing the damage after a fight broke out in the crowd about 7 p.m. but said eight were arrested for failing to disperse. Several officers and people in the crowd suffered minor injuries during the two-hour fracas, said Lt. John Domingo.
Domingo said the disturbance left city signs, vehicles and portable bathrooms damaged. Video from the incident showed police in riot gear squaring off with unruly people in the crowd.
