After officers responded about 6:30 p.m. to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon in Pacoima, a man in the stolen SUV led officers on a chase on the southbound 5 Freeway and tried to ram into police vehicles and other drivers The driver exited the freeway and traveled to a parking lot on Colorado Boulevard, where he rammed the vehicle into the doors of two police cruisers Police shot at the stolen vehicle as the man drove into officers. The man remained in the vehicle in a standoff with police for more than two hours, behaving erratically and at times wrapping jumper cables around himself SWAT teams arrived about 7:30 p.m. and boxed in the man and the vehicle; an hour later, he climbed out onto the roof of the vehicle and was taken into custody.
