The refusal to stop sent officers racing across interstates at speeds well over 100 mph. >> Turned off. So now we have another crime here. Trying to evade um trying to hide yourself and turn the lights off and get off at Garfield. This looks like and collision with that driver and they were able to get off and lose the uh the lead officer in this pursuit with one headlight on might have knocked out one of the headlights. We'll see if one of the secondary officers was able to continue on. They have ditched the vehicle. It looks like it is rolling onto the shoulder now looking for someone on foot. >> Bailed out of the vehicle, dodging in between those trees. It's difficult to see because it's so dark out there right now, but it looked as though somebody dove out of that car and tried to duck into those trees in this neighborhood. >> Yeah, as we gain up on the camera here, we have the night sun from the overhead view. Um, but right in this area here, there were some trees. You can see a shadow moving among the lighted areas, but it is very dark in this area. We did not see where Yeah. And is this an officer who was pulled up or is this just a vehicle? >> Well, and there were at least two vehicles in close pursuit of this car as soon as it exited, though. It didn't appear as though those cruisers followed it. Okay, we've got a police chopper overhead now. This all began about a half hour ago in the Baldwin Park neighborhood uh when police say this car was going excessive speeds as soon as they began pursuing this vehicle. Police say the car was blowing through red and yellow lights, not stopping for officers. At one point, exceeded miles of or exceeded speeds rather of 120 mph. We've been told that that was a black Jeep Cherokee, but it's difficult to see with the lighting out there. >> I see some movement up by the house. If we can go back up to that house, you saw some movement up on the uh on the far porch. There's someone there. You see a shadow moving there. Right on the corner of the house. Now, the other house uh down at the corner, we saw someone outside right on the corner at where that lighted area is. We see the night sun there. Right there. So, there is someone on that porch. You can see a shadow moving right there. I don't know whether that's a resident checking something out or whether that has to do with the person who just bailed here. There was someone on this porch um likely just coming outside to see what's happening in your in your neighborhood. When you hear this commotion, we have the first responding vehicle right here. Two officers now pulling up. Uh we don't know what jurisdiction they are from. But finally getting here on the ground, it's a little difficult when resources are thin like this to try and lock down a perimeter to make sure this person can't escape. And you have all that time that has now spanned elapsed after this came to an end where this person could be blocks away by now. Yeah, we did see a law enforcement helicopter overhead. So perhaps the helicopter has eyes on this person. You can see officers getting out of the vehicle, flashlights on, running across the street, perhaps being guided by officers in that in that helicopter. >> Well, they're they're checking out the vehicle first >> in the area, but it's very dark. Yeah. In this area right now because the officer's flashlights are doing most of the work there. And you hope that the um airship overhead, the helicopter has a fleer system set up, that forward-looking infrared radar to be able to see some hot spots um if someone's hiding in a bush, if someone's up in a tree or hiding in in an alleyway. This is video of the the foot bail. You can see uh they looked like they might have dropped something in the middle of the road and it's tough to follow them right behind that bush. You see them hop a fence. So, slow-mo this down for you. The vehicle continues to roll. person looks like they fell down, dropped something, picked it up, and ran over into these trees and bushes, and it looks like um hopped a fence. So, on the left side of your screen, this is a live look. These officers on foot now training their attention on an alleyway or a driveway between two houses. I don't know. Uh we'll have to wait and see if they saw something, if they were told something. Maybe again the airship overhead might have that infrared radar to be able to see if there's a the the heat um sensor of a of a body that is outside of a home and hiding somewhere and that will make quick work of this. It's just a matter of whether they have that system in use. >> New Avenue. This started around 6:00 this evening. Just ended about what 15 minutes ago in this neighborhood in San Gabriel. And this driver pulling a dangerous pursuit to get away from pursuing officers. Turning off his headlights in the left-hand lane, veering across all lanes of traffic. And they have someone in custody on the ground right now. So they do have someone in custody. It looks like this is about to come to an end. A man in a tank top being checked for weapons on his person. And CHP officers, they're their work pays off. They've been combing this area for the better part of 10 15 minutes on foot. This driver was able to get off the freeway without a tail, turning off that those headlights, driving across all lanes of traffic. It was too dangerous of a maneuver for CHP officers to pull off. So, he got off the exit, got out of his car once he had pulled off, letting his vehicle roll into a nearby fence and has been hiding, but now the hiding is done. >> After abandoning the vehicle, and running into a dark neighborhood, the suspect was located and taken into custody following a perimeter search.
