The second night of a downtown Los Angeles curfew will start at 8 p.m. Wednesday as the city starts to calm down after nearly a week of riots and peaceful protests.
The curfew will last until 6 a.m. Thursday. The mayor’s office said the nightly curfew will continue until announced otherwise.
Another demonstration took place Wednesday afternoon as protesters marched east on 1st Street at Spring Street, near Los Angeles City Hall. As it did during Tuesday’s scattered protests, the Los Angeles Police Department closed nearby freeway on- and off-ramps during the demonstration.
The LAPD said on X that it made 203 arrests for failure to disperse after a 10-hour curfew started at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Police said officers quickly responded to large crowds still in the downtown area near Temple and Los Angeles streets. Most of the crowd ended up leaving the area.
