Around 12:14 a.m., officers made a traffic stop in the area of Atlantic Boulevard and Glendon Way, and as they were out of their vehicle a man walking nearby got in the car.

A man stole a patrol car from Alhambra police in the city and led officers on a high-speed chase that ended in Los Angeles early Tuesday morning, March 18. The suspect, who police said was a transient, was arrested and taken to a hospital for injuries he sustained while running from officers after the vehicle chase ended, police said.

The chase, which reached speeds of up to 140 miles per hour, concluded with the assistance of a K-9 unit that successfully located the suspect.
