Hundreds of police, clad in helmets and wielding batons, had responded to the area. Officers formed skirmish lines as protesters scattered in alleys and streets adjacent to 6th Street.
LAPD Officer Karen Rayner said a citywide tactical alert was declared, freeing up more officers to respond to the scene.
