It all unfolded shortly after 11 p.m. Monday after officers tried to pull over a black Honda near 15th Street and Locust Avenue, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
That triggered a brief pursuit that ended when the suspect crashed into another car, injuring an innocent person. That person was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
After the suspect's vehicle came to a stop, three suspects who were inside tried to run away on foot. Two of them were quickly taken into custody but the third person managed to get away.
Authorities set up a perimeter of the area but the suspect was not located.
