A man stole a Los Angeles Police Department patrol SUV with an officer inside the vehicle Sunday morning and crashed into several cars at a downtown Los Angeles intersection. An officer was working as part of a security detail on 12th Street, location of the infamous “Graffiti Towers,” at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday when she was attacked by a man who jumped in the patrol SUV and took off, police said. At some point, the officer was ejected from the SUV.
He was arrested a short time later. At least three people, including the officer, were hurt, but none of their injuries were life-threatening. Video showed a heavily damaged minivan and another SUV at the intersection about four blocks from where the patrol SUV was stolen. Streets were closed for the police investigation.
