A vehicle chase was still going on Tuesday night in Los Angeles after about four hours.
The video posted by FOX 11 in Los Angeles showed a silver Chevy Malibu with Oklahoma plates driving around the area, with several police vehicles nearby and news helicopters above.
The driver was considered armed and dangerous, the reports said. The vehicle had at least three flat tires after it ran over a pointed lane, reports Los Angeles-based KNBC-TV.
What was a rapid chase earlier in the evening slowed to less than 5 km / h after the vehicle was damaged, reports FOX 11. Police carefully chased because the driver apparently possessed a weapon, the report said.
The caution of the pursuit was consistent with police training, Joe Buscaino, a Los Angeles City councilor who served as a police officer in LA, told the station.
He noted that the chase took place amid a growing crime in the country’s second largest city.
“I expect it to get worse before it gets better, unfortunately,” Buscaino said.
