Huntington Beach, California – Nearly 150 people were arrested in Huntington Beach, south-east of Los Angeles, on Saturday after a man's TikTok video inviting people to his birthday party went viral and the city was overrun with unruly revelers, prompting authorities to issue an emergency overnight curfew, police said.

On May 19, a user called adrian.lopez517 posted a TikTok inviting people to "pop out n celebrate my b day!! !! !!" The video quickly went viral and its impact spread from the virtual world to the real one.

The event drew at least 2,500 people, who initially gathered at the beach and then moved to the downtown area, the Huntington Beach Police Department said in a news release.

Some people allegedly threw bottles, rocks and fireworks at police officers, prompting a request for assistance from other agencies, according to the Police Department.
