The celebrations of the Giants' World Series in San Francisco turned from elated to violent Monday night as crowds took to the streets, started fires and attacked each other with little provocation.
Crowds appeared all over San Francisco after the Giants beat the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the World Series, and the gatherings in areas such as the Civic Center and near the Marina, the crowds were mostly peaceful, though boisterous.
Around 10 p.m., a crowd that had taken over the intersection of 3rd and King streets had started multiple fires, but those were extinguished soon afterward.
An hour later, at the intersection of Mission and 22nd streets that had been taken over by dozens of fans, a large fire had been started. Later, a car attempted to drive through the crowd was stopped, and the vehicle and its passengers were attacked.
Near 11:30 p.m., thieves attempted to rob the Dugout, a sports merchandiser and broke its windows.
