IT'S YOUR HANDS UP AND STEP
OUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR.

CLEARLY HEAR THE INSTRUCTIONS IN
ENGLISH AND SPANISH.
THE DRIVER DIDN'T MOVE.
ALL OF THIS STARTED WITH A
CARJACKING AT THE CORNER OF
68th AND ENGAGE IN SOUTH L.A.
HE WENT AND OFFICERS
THROUGHOUT'S SPIKE STRIPS.
BOTH TIRES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE
WERE DAMAGED BUT THAT DIDN'T
STOP HIM.
TIFFANY WAS WATCHING ALL OF THIS
ON TV AND SUDDENLY REALIZED HE
IS COMING TO WHERE I LIVE.
I WAS IN CLEAR SHOT.
I WAS SHOCKED THAT THEY WERE
COMING TOWARD, THROUGH OUR CITY.
REPORTER: SHE RAN AROUND THE
CORNER, CELL PHONE IN HAND AND
STARTED RECORDING.
THE CHASE ITSELF, AT TIMES, WAS
BIZARRE.
OFFICERS TRIED A P.I.T. MANEUVER
THAT DAMAGED THE BUMPER BUT
DIDN'T STOP HIM.
A FEW BLOCKS LATER THEY TRIED
AGAIN.
BEFORE THEY COULD STOP HIM, HE
THREW THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE,
TOOK OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED
AND SPUN HIMSELF BACK AROUND.
HE THEN TOOK OFF AGAIN BEFORE
ANYONE COULD DOCUMENT.
S.W.A.T. TEAM SURROUNDED HIM,
GUNS DRAWN, TWO DRONES HOVERED
OVERHEAD, HELICOPTERS FLYING ALL
AROUND.
FINALLY THE DOGS WERE BROUGHT IN
AND THE SUSPECT SURRENDERED
