LAPD officials said about 7 p.m. that some arrests have been made.

A group of more than 30 were surrounded by LAPD officers on Alvarado Street near Beverly Boulevard after they allegedly blocked streets and ran into oncoming traffic, police said. The area was shut down by police. The LAPD has also closed ramps to the 101 Freeway in the area.

Some of the protesters left the area once LAPD issued the order to disperse, but others remained. If protesters did not immediately leave the area, they would be arrested, police said.
