The crash happened at the intersection of Bellflower and Del Amo boulevards around midnight.
Two deputies, in separate squad cars, were responding to a 911 call about a man slashing tires and threatening people with a knife on Briercrest Avenue. When one of deputies stopped to figure out which way to turn, the other deputy rear-ended the cruiser.
Neither of the deputies was injured during the collision, but both cars were damaged.
