After the vehicle got on the 134 Freeway, it exited at Coldwater Canyon where a female passenger exited the car in Studio City.

The driver then took off again. Police said the woman was taken into custody.

The suspect took Coldwater Canyon into the Hollywood Hills. The suspect later foot bailed off of Coldwater Canyon as CHP officers searched the area.

Authorities arrested the suspect Saturday morning just after midnight at his home in North Hollywood. He faces charges for felony evasion.
