Eight people were arrested following what police called a major disturbance after the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach.
The chaos in the streets began when police say a large crowd gathered at Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway after the popular surfing event. Police said that's when a large fight broke out.
When officers tried to break up the disturbance, the crowd moved into the downtown area of Huntington Beach. Witnesses say other fights broke out from there, and police said the crowds refused to disperse and began fighting and damaging property.
