Summary
At about 2:25 p.m., officers boxed in a stolen white pickup in Lynwood and detained the driver after a K-9 bit his arm when he appeared ready to run.
The pursuit began in Fontana after a violent midday carjacking outside the China Cook restaurant, then stretched west on the 10 Freeway through the San Gabriel Valley into Los Angeles County.
A PIT maneuver spun the Chevy pickup but failed to end the chase; the driver backed up, kept going through downtown LA and south county communities, and later slowed to about 20 mph on the 710.
Owner Ronald Knesil said the man asked for a ride, grabbed his keys and drove off after a struggle that left Knesil with cuts on his arms but no serious injuries.
