Los Angeles has a reputation for some of the country’s wildest

police chases

, and this week’s example would fit right in as a segment on “

Cops

.” To end a pursuit that lasted roughly an hour, LAPD performed a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) maneuver before pushing a

Kia Sportage

around like a bulldozer shoving dirt.

According to CBS L.A.

, three people were injured during an arduous and extremely strange car pursuit. The suspect started running from the police around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon and wasn’t pinned down until about 2:30 p.m.

Driving a stolen red

Kia Sportage

, the suspect made numerous dangerous moves throughout south L.A., including zipping through active intersections and

speeding

down alleyways where people were walking. Police tried to spin the

crossover

out early in the chase but were unsuccessful. After stopping in the middle of the highway with several

Ford Police Interceptors

following in a V formation, the suspect drove down side streets and high-fived people who appeared to be homeless. They even cheered him on as he drove away.

The chase came to a conclusion when a police

Explorer

t-boned the

Sportage

, pushed it over a curb, pushed it across the street, and pushed it into an old

Lincoln Navigator

occupied by two people. The police captured the suspect and took him to the hospital. He will later be transferred to the county jail.

Above is the full report, and below is the crazy ending.
