Police detain a possible stolen vehicle driver

Los Angeles Police Department officers pursued a possible stolen vehicle early Wednesday morning before taking the driver into custody.

The driver of a gray Hyundai sedan led the approximate 30-minute chase that began in the downtown Los Angeles McArthur Park area around 5:06 a.m.

During the pursuit at the La Cienega and Centinela intersection, another uninvolved vehicle crashed into a police vehicle and the driver continued on. Police said they are not treating the incident as a hit-and-run, and are not pursuing that driver.

Police continued following the vehicle on surface streets in Crenshaw. The pursuit ended around 5:35 a.m. as the driver stopped the car in a residential area and fled on foot. Police caught up with the man and took him into custody.
