A driver was taken into custody late Wednesday night after leading police on a two-hour pursuit through Los Angeles County.<\/p>\n
The driver was wanted for allegedly assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon a few days ago in North Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. More details about the incident, including what type of weapon was used, were unknown.<\/p>\n
Wednesday’s chase started around 9 p.m. near Studio City and went through various neighborhoods in the city of LA and the county, including Boyle Heights, Alhambra and Pasadena.<\/p>\n
Early on in the pursuit, aerial footage from NewsChopper4 showed the white Lexus sedan traveling slowly with what appeared to be a damaged front-right tire on the southbound 5 Freeway. At least nine LAPD units were following behind, and two LAPD airships were also overhead.<\/p>\n
By 9:30 p.m., the slow-speed chase continued off the freeway and onto surface streets.<\/p>\n
Just before 11 p.m., video showed the driver running from the car and into a neighborhood, where officers arrested the suspect close to an apartment complex near Oxnard Street and Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A driver was taken into custody late Wednesday night after leading police on a two-hour pursuit through Los…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49,4248],"class_list":["post-444928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-police-pursuit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
