LOS ANGELES – A chase suspect got into a vehicle on the train tracks in Boyle Heights after a chase with MPs. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department initially responded to an emergency call from a train station near Noakes Street and Calada Street in the City of Commerce just before 2:30 p.m. on Friday. The suspect drove the officers through units in Santa Fe Springs, Montebello, Commerce and East LA. The vehicle is believed to have been stolen.
The SUV passes through a fence, leading along the train tracks to Boyle Heights
SkyFOX was over a strange scene where an SUV goes through a fence and begins to travel along the train tracks in the Southern Los Angeles area. The driver of this black SUV eventually crashed into a fence and drove into train tracks in the Boyle Heights area. He then lost control of the vehicle and tried to escape on foot. SkyFOX spotted the suspect running on several rails trying to avoid the police. It seems that he thought for a while about jumping on a moving train. He then returned to the vehicle causing a collision. LASD deputies are near the truck with drawn weapons. This is in E. Washington Blvd. and Indiana Street. The LASD also called on the Special Enforcement Bureau to assist with MPs already at the scene of the long-running confrontation between authorities and the persecution suspect. On social media, the bizarre chase-turned-stop made comparisons to the popular video game series, Grand Theft Autoamong viewers of FOX 11 in the comments section. “Real life GTA,” one viewer commented on social media. “It’s like the GTA in Los Angeles [every day]”, Said another on social media.
