Authorities were in pursuit of a suspect recklessly riding a motorcycle Friday evening.
Glendale Police Department officers began the pursuit before it was picked up by California Highway Patrol near Burbank.
At one point, the suspect is said to have driven through the Universal Studios backlot before hurtling through Hollywood on sidewalks, even stopping to talk to a group of people on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard.
The suspect could often be seen driving erratically, performing wheelies, driving into oncoming lanes of traffic and swerving around cars. At around 10:20 p.m., he joined a group of motorcyclists heading through the area, attempting to blend in to their ranks.
He even stopped for gas at one station, briefly appearing to fill up his tank before hurtling away from the scene.
After hiding out in Pan Pacific Park for several minutes, the suspect headed into a parking structure near The Grove where pursuing officers arrived shortly after.
It was not clear if the suspect was detained.
