An assault with a deadly weapon suspect was arrested after a pursuit spanning from Orange County to South Los Angeles on Tuesday. 

The chase was started by Santa Ana Police Department for unknown reasons. 

Officers followed the suspect until he pulled over in the South Gate-East Los Angeles area near California Avenue and Tweedy Boulevard. 

The suspect jumped out of the car and ran on foot, prompting a foot chase that involved a K9 unit. 

After a few minutes, officers were finally able to locate the suspect, who evaded their tackle attempts several times before they were finally able to catch him. 

SkyCal was overhead as he was placed into handcuffs and into the back of a police car. 

No further information was provided.
