Fight on Pier Plaza Brings Heightened Response

Two men were arrested on Pier Plaza around 1:38 a.m. Sunday after engaging in a fight, said Hermosa Beach's Interim Police Chief Michael McCrary.

McCrary said the fight was alcohol-related, with words exchanged, and escalated when police tried to break it up. As the officers went to intervene, people in the crowd joined the brawl, prompting officers to call for assistance from other police agencies. 

The arrested men are from Lomita and Lawndale, he said.
