Watch: Crowd Assaults Security Guards, Vandalizes Vehicle At Paul Walker Tribute

The West Covina Police on Thursday were investigating acts of vandalism and assaults against two mall security guards at a mall in California where a sea of automotive enthusiasts had gathered to pay tribute to the late Paul Walker.

The incident took place about 11 p.m. local time Wednesday (2 a.m. EDT Thursday) outside the Plaza West Covina, 1111 Plaza Drive when a large crowd of car enthusiasts showed up in the parking lot to pay tribute to the late "The Fast and the Furious" actor, police said in a statement.

“Video has been posted on social media showing numerous suspects committing vandalism to a mall security vehicle and punching two different mall security officers,” the statement said.

West Covina police Lt. Travis Tibbetts said both the guards were fine but their vehicle sustained damages, including a cracked windshield that could take several thousand dollars to fix, CW-affiliated television station KTLA reported.

The security officers issued dozens of citations for various violations and towed about 50 cars, Tibbetts said. He, however, said no arrests were made in connection with the vandalism and batteries till now. He added that the police did not learn of those crimes until after the incident and hoped the video of the incident will help the investigators identify the culprits.

Anyone with information regarding the incident or the identity of the suspects is requested to call 626-939-8688.

In a similar incident in 2011, police officials were unable to control an unruly crowd of roughly 2,000 people who had gathered at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Hollywood, for the premiere of a documentary about the Electric Daisy Carnival, a rave that is now banned.

The crowd refused to disperse and began throwing bottles at officers. Police arrested two people for felony vandalism after three patrol cars were damaged during the chaos. The incident also resulted in temporary closure of Hollywood Boulevard between Highland and Orange Avenue, CBS Los Angeles reported.
