There's four hours left on the first night of the curfew imposed by Mayor Karen Bass that began at 20:00 local time last night (04:00 BST), and we're now getting some more photos from the area, where police have been arresting protestors.

Bass said the measure was put in place to curb vandalism following"significant damages", adding the curfew was expected to last"several days".

In a post on X earlier, the Los Angeles Police Department said that"multiple groups continue to congregate" in areas restricted by the curfew, adding that"mass arrests" were being made.
