ECHO PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A wild yet slow-speed chase ended in Echo Park on Saturday afternoon.

Sheriff’s deputies tried to stop it on Pacific Coast Highway around 3 p.m. At some point, they deployed spike strips, flattening all four tires. Still, the driver kept going.
Even though the driver was only traveling about five miles an hour, he managed to run red lights and drive into oncoming traffic and on sidewalks.
He was even seen yelling at other drivers, video shows.
Los Angeles police apparently used a pit maneuver to finally end the chase.
