The stolen truck began dragging a freeway sign on the road as the suspect fled, sending sparks flying up from the pavement.
The highway truck was ultimately brought to a total halt when a Bearcat vehicle rammed it against the freeway divider.
A Bearcat is a tactical, armored vehicle commonly used by 🚓Police SWAT units.
A KABC news chopper captured footage of the pursuit as it ended, with more than ten 🚓Police cars trailing the vehicle by the time the driver attempted to flee on foot.
The suspect fled the disabled stolen truck on the highway, dodging between incoming traffic in a dangerous situation.
Chopper footage showed the man holding a firearm in one hand and making a phone call in the other.
At one point, he appeared to approach another vehicle in a possible attempt to jack yet another car, only for the driver to speed by him.
It wasn’t ultimately a tactical vehicle that ended this chase — rather, it was man’s best friend.
A K-9 downed the fleeing suspect as he ran through the empty eastbound lane of the I-10, seemingly sealed off due to the chase.
The 🚓Police🐕Dog wrapped its jaws around the fleeing suspect, potentially preventing him from stealing another vehicle to carry on his flee attempt.
🚓Police soon surrounded their suspect, bringing him into custody.
🚓Police also went on to find the suspect’s weapon, which had been thrown over the I-10 wall.
The suspect hadn’t been identified in the media as of Saturday, and it’s not clear what potential criminal charges he’s facing as a result of the incident.
