Police used the PIT manoeuvr, a tactic used to abruptly turn and stop a fleeing vehicle, knocking off the bumper of his car. But the man didn’t stop. At one point he also drove in reverse.

The car was stopped after a PIT manoeuvr in Redondo Beach along Pacific Coast Highway.

Police surrounded the car with guns drawn but the suspect has refused to come out.
