A large police presence responded to the scene as several individuals wearing all black gathered near the arena.
"Due to a large and unruly crowd, the LAPD has declared an unlawful assembly & issued a dispersal order in the area of Pico & Figueroa northwest corner," LAPD tweeted. "At this time, anyone in the area is to leave immediately and follow all orders from any police officer. This area is now closed."

The group was walking down Figueroa Street around 8 p.m., and hours after the unlawful assembly was declared, several demonstrators were seen being taken into custody near Washington Boulevard and Hope Street.
LAPD said some of the individuals wearing helmets or kneepads were stopped by officers and detained for questioning. Officers also formed a skirmish line near the Convention Center at the time the unlawful assembly was declared.
The exact number of people taken into custody was not immediately known.
The LAPD declared a citywide tactical alert Tuesday afternoon, though the agency said the decision was "to ensure sufficient resources to address any incidents that may arise as a result of Election Day activities, but is not a result of any specific incident."
