A suspected hit man led Los Angeles law enforcement officers on a wild chase Friday that ended in a standoff between multiple police vehicles and the suspect’s Toyota Prius.

CNN’s Maeve Reston described the chase in a series of tweets.

The female driver of the Prius surrendered to police while the suspect remained in the vehicle. Law enforcement sent in a dog to distract the suspect and allow the SWAT team time to move on the vehicle. (RELATED: Study Reveals Best And Worst States To Be A Police Officer)

The suspect was removed from the vehicle and transported from the scene, apparently being treated with an IV and oxygen. No reports have yet surfaced regarding the extent or cause of his apparent injuries.
