An armed man fleeing police led authorities on a wild pursuit Monday afternoon, hitting at least three vehicles before crashing his car and carjacking a woman.
The pursuit began west of downtown Los Angeles around 5 p.m. The driver sped through various streets, sometimes going against traffic in South Gate, Huntington Park and Vernon.
Around 5:30 p.m., he crashed his car and ran onto Imperial Highway. He pulled out what appeared to be a gun and stole a woman's car. He then entered the 710 Freeway.
At least eight LAPD officers trailed him on the 710 and 60 freeways while helicopters tracked his movements.
Around 5:45 p.m., traffic on the 60 Freeway slowed the pursuit. The man then got out of the vehicle he had carjacked and was chased by police on foot.
KCBS-TV reported that police opened fire as the suspect tried to carjack a second motorist in East Los Angeles. The suspect’s condition is unknown.

I've been witness (no, not Brian Williams witness) to countless LA car chases.
This by far was the most spectacular, breathtaking, jaw dropping one ever.
Much like the first ten minutes of Grand Theft Auto.
Shocked, I tell you, shocked.
Bruce Jenner at it again?
There go those rambunctious Amish again.
Was it O.J.?
Craziest chase I have seen in a very long time. The woman that he carjacked at gunpoint appeared to have just froze..because she could have just floored it and got out of there, seeing what attempted to happen to the car in front of her, but I think she just froze, and with a gun pointed at her and the door wasn’t locked(A No No, always lock your car door) she was a sitting duck
This guy was a whack job, he had a death wish and crashed into four cars I think(Lost count) cops shot him, hope the POS is dead but I think he was still moving when ambulances arrived
“I see O.J., man, and he looks scared.”
Amish relationship gone bad.

This has happened to me quite a few times,
when I play GTA IV. Get some!
.......and a fist bump or hug................
whatever is appropriate.
I’m going with,deadbeat should have been deported, illegal cockroach for $100 Alex.
Look at the pic in post # 3. That’s a bruthah.
On the Local News, the Anchors said the guy was driving a stolen Toyota Camry. They are clueless, even using the word alleged when talking about if the guy had a Gun.
You couldn’t miss the Gun unless you’re a Liberal, oh wait.
The first Car the Perp was driving was actually a Toyota Corolla, those things are bullet proof. Took a licking kept on ticking. I couldn’t believe it kept going after the second Collision.
TOYOTA!
” police opened fire as the suspect tried to carjack a second motorist in East Los Angeles —
Looked like the cops made a relatively long shot on the guy. Seems like good marksmanship.
Also quite close to other cars. Not making sure of background.
That whole area down there are bruthah.
Most people avoid.
Was amazed at the skill of the perp. driving a car he had just hi-jacked, with obvious skill.
Hope the lady he attempted to car-jack is OK.....she was taken to hospital with chest pains.
