The Los Angeles Police Department was investigating an alleged underground casino in Winnetka Wednesday evening after someone called to report a fight there.

The LAPD was contacted about 9 p.m. Wednesday by someone who claimed his friend was fighting inside an underground casino in the 7500 block of Winnetka Avenue, between Saticoy Street and Sherman Way, Officer J. Chaves told City News Service.

An ambulance was called to assist a 50-year-old man with chest pains, Chaves said.

Video from the scene showed an officer leading a man in handcuffs to an awaiting ambulance. Another handcuffed man and a handcuffed woman could be seen through an opening in a covered fence.
