CLAREMONT, Calif. (KABC) -- A 25-year-old man was shot Monday morning after an officer-involved shooting near the 10 Freeway in Claremont, police said.

The shooting occurred near an apartment complex in the 500 block of West San Jose Avenue. Officers were patrolling at about 3 a.m. when they came across a Honda Accord that was reported stolen on Sunday in Montclair.

The car sped off as officers approached. Officers found the car parked in an alley and stopped to investigate, believing it was abandoned, Claremont police said.

As an officer approached the car, it reversed towards the officer, who shot at the driver, investigators said. He was airlifted to a hospital and was listed in critical, but stable condition.

No officers were injured.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
