Los Angeles, California – Now skateboarders in the so-called “City of Angels” are behaving like absolute devils.
KTLA reported that the Second Annual Skate Jam in Hollywood descended into a riot Saturday night. The competition, which was hosted by F***ing Awesome World Entertainment and Adidas Skateboarding, started at 4:30 p.m. local time on the 1600 block of Cherokee Avenue but became violent three hours later, according to police. Before the violence broke out, the Daily Mail reports skaters were performing stunts over an old LAPD cop car.
NBC 4 News LA reports that hundreds of people were in attendance at the event. It is unknown how many engaged in criminal activities.
