Pursuit with armed robbery suspect comes to crashing end in Chatsworth

A brief pursuit with an alleged armed robbery suspect came to a crashing end in Chatsworth on Tuesday. 

Los Angeles Police Department officers, who began the chase a little after 11:30 a.m., have not clarified exactly what incident the suspect is wanted for. Initially, they claimed he was a murder suspect. Later, they revised their statement to say he was wanted for an armed robbery 

The chase ended violently at the intersection of Mason Avenue and Chatsworth Street when the suspect, driving a white SUV, slammed into a semi-truck. 

After the crash, which caused considerable damage to the SUV and caused the airbags to deploy, the driver fled from the car on foot after getting out from the passenger side door, running along the street before jumping a fence into the backyard of a nearby home on Coraline Place. 

Pursuing officers, who also jumped the fence, were able to quickly catch up to the suspect and take him into custody.
