A High-Speed Standoff in Studio City
The LAPD and SWAT teams transformed a routine pursuit into a dramatic spectacle in Studio City, as a female driver refused to budge after a two-hour standoff.
Friday afternoon saw an exciting climax to a police chase, with SWAT squad members forcefully cornering the suspect's truck, smashing its windows, and hurling canisters of gas to coerce the driver out.
The unnamed driver, subsequently apprehended at 12:30 p.m., surrendered while news helicopters capture the tense standoff from the sky.
Cameras caught SWAT team members using a metal pole to smash the truck's rear and driver's side windows, then employing the pole to thrust gas canisters inside the cab, aiming to persuade the driver to exit her vehicle.
The woman initially responded by forcefully kicking open a passenger door, making a brief appearance before shutting the door and retreating within the truck. A third dosage of gas seemed to do the trick, prompting the driver to exit the cab where she was greeted by several police officers.
