On Monday evening, an armed man led LAPD on an insane chase involving four accidents, two escape vehicles and a carjacking before police finally shot and subdued the suspect while he tried to steal a third car.

According to the L.A. Times, the pursuit began at around 5 p.m. local time, when the suspect began fleeing police, often driving into oncoming traffic.

After crashing his car multiple times, the suspect abandoned the first vehicle at around 5:30 p.m. and carjacked a second one, apparently pulling a gun on the female driver.

Finally, at around 5:45 p.m., the suspect left the second car and tried to steal a third before falling to the ground and being detained by police.

According to reporter Richard Winton, police say they hit the man with gunfire before he was subdued. The L.A. Times reports that the suspect was taken to a hospital but his current condition is unknown.

UPDATE - 11:45 p.m.: As of 8 p.m. local time, the L.A. Times reports the man is still alive but in unknown condition.
