LAPD searching for pursuit suspect in the San Fernando Valley
A suspect who led LAPD officers on a short pursuit was at large on Friday morning.
LOS ANGELES - A car theft suspect was taken into custody Friday morning after leading Los Angeles Police Department officers on a brief pursuit and foot chase in the San Fernando Valley.
Following the pursuit, the suspect ditched the vehicle he allegedly stole and made a run for it.
SkyFOX flew over the scene and showed the suspect running across lanes on the 210 Freeway in the Sylmar area. It's a dangerous stunt he did twice while evading officers.
Officials temporarily closed the westbound lanes of the 210 Freeway in the area, which led to a backup all the way to the 118 Freeway.
It also appears the suspect ditched his orange t-shirt at some point while on the run.
