Chase from Chino to Compton ends when CHP slams into fleeing driver's car

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A chase that began in Chino ended in Compton Monday night when a CHP cruiser slammed into a suspect's car and sent it spinning.

AIR7 was over the pursuit around 10:40 p.m. as the suspect was fleeing on the 710 Freeway in southeast Los Angeles County.

The suspect weaved through traffic on multiple freeways before exiting onto surface streets and ending up in Compton.

Once the driver approached Atlantic and Rosecrans avenues, a CHP officer got in position and managed to successfully perform a PIT maneuver on the suspect's vehicle.

The suspect's car spun out, bringing an end to the chase. A brief standoff ensued before an officer used a baton to smash the driver's side window. Officers forcefully pulled the suspect out of the car and took him into custody.

Authorities say the driver was wanted for assault with a deadly weapon on an officer for allegedly ramming into a police cruiser in.
