Two Los Angeles police officers were injured Friday night after responding to a call about a fight near the Slauson Recreation Center in South L.A., where a large crowd had gathered, authorities said. Video captured by news helicopter showed dozens of police vehicles with their lights flashing lined up and blocking the intersection outside the center. Officers responded to a call about 8:15 p.m.
officers at the scene put in a 'call for help' in response to a report of a man with a gun, while a large crowd surrounded and fought the officers, he said. Shortly afterward, there was a request for an ambulance for an injured officer, according to Madison. 'As you can imagine, there was a very large response because you had a report about a man with a gun and an officer that was hurt,' Madison said.
