The suspects made their way from Burbank on freeways through Glendale and Tujunga before exiting onto surface streets in Silver Lake.
Shortly after, the driver appeared to lose control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree on a sidewalk around 9:45 p.m. in Elysian Valley.
The suspects ran into the neighborhood, and authorities began searching for them. Homeowners were told to lock their doors amid the search, and some residents were seen evacuating their homes.
One suspect was seen being taken into custody, but it's unclear if the remaining suspects escaped capture.
