Two police officers were hurt and 11 people were arrested in a police raid on an unlicensed Hollywood nightclub that turned into a mini-riot. The club, on the second floor of a building on Santa Monica Boulevard, was packed with teen-agers, many of whom were seen drinking on the street, Lt. Sergio Robleto said. He said the club was apparently one of many throughout the city that open their doors without obtaining the proper licenses and change locations frequently to stay ahead of authorities. A team of vice officers moved in to close down the club, but an additional 15 officers were called in to help shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday when a “donnybrook broke loose,� Robleto said. Five people were arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, two were held on suspicion of battery on a police officer and four others were arrested on suspicion of business code violations for selling alcohol without a license.
