Wild Police Chase Across Los Angeles Ends With Suspect Running From Officers
A pursuit involving a stolen vehicle traveled across multiple Los Angeles-area cities and freeways before ending with a foot chase and arrest in Downtown Los Angeles early Saturday morning.
On November 7, 2026, at approximately midnight, Los Angeles police pursued a stolen vehicle through several cities, traveling from Pasadena to Harbor Gateway and eventually returning to Downtown Los Angeles.
The pursuit traveled along multiple freeways, including the 110, 5, 10, 710, and 91 freeways.
During the chase, California Highway Patrol officers successfully deployed a spike strip near the transition from the 91 Freeway to the 110 Freeway, causing both front tires of the stolen vehicle to blow out.
Despite losing the tires, the driver continued fleeing, traveling all the way back to Downtown Los Angeles.
The pursuit eventually came to a stop near 5th Street and Figueroa Street, where LAPD officers attempted to get the driver out of the vehicle.
The suspect refused to exit for approximately 30 minutes before eventually stepping outside.
After briefly standing near the vehicle, the suspect suddenly took off running, prompting officers to give chase.
Approximately 40 bystanders holding cellphones were also seen running behind the pursuing officers.
LAPD officers caught the suspect and took him into custody.
The suspect was subsequently transported to a hospital with injuries of an unknown nature or severity.
No additional information was immediately available.
