Suspect tries to carjack passing motorists as chase ends in Ontario

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A man led authorities on a high-speed chase through Los Angeles County before he apparently tried to carjack passing drivers in a desperate attempt to escape capture Thursday night.

After jumping out of his car in Ontario, the suspect looked for nearby motorists and tried to carjack three cars on the road – even as the drivers sped off.

California Highway Patrol officers swarmed the man on Archibald Avenue after his failed carjacking attempts and tackled him to the ground to arrest him.

The chase started near downtown L.A. before it transitioned onto the 60 Freeway through the San Gabriel Valley and then ended in Ontario.
