BOSTON -- Dozens of Red Sox revelers will be in court Monday after police made multiple arrests following the unrest that followed Boston's World Series win early Monday, WCVB television in Boston reported.

Police Arrest Dozens After Red Sox Win

Police in riot gear worked to clear large crowds gathered around Fenway Park after the bars nearby emptied out after the Sox won their second title in four years.

Officers had a block-wide area all around the ballpark cordoned off, so crowds congregated in Kenmore Square where some rowdy fans overturned cars on Boylston Street and set a motorcycle on fire on upper Newbury Street.

Thousands gathered, some celebrating and others throwing bottles at police, who didn't hesitate to handcuff rowdies who refused to follow police orders. Some pepper spray was used and officers had to try to prevent some fans from climbing light poles in order to dive into the crowds.

"The crowd went crazy. Beer was spilling everywhere. I was just covered," said one fan at the scene.

Police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said about 40 arrests were made overnight in the city, mostly for disorderly conduct.

Not all the fans were out of control. Some quietly enjoyed the sweet victory.

"I think it's terrific because I wasn't around in '04, I was out of town. So now that I'm here, I get to experience it. It feels good. I'm not going to lie. It feels good," another fan said.

The Red Sox won Sunday's game 4-3, touching off celebrations in Boston and around New England. Boston police were on high alert because of past destruction following team victories, including the death of an Emerson College student when police tried to quell rioting in 2004.
