Video taken during the chase obtained by KTLA shows the man driving slowly down the street while seemingly trying to speak to the police officers pursuing him; they tried to box him in but were initially unable to do so, the footage indicates.
The man eventually pulled over in front of the Compton DMV where he was taken into custody without further incident, according to initial reports.
He was not immediately identified, and what charges he may be facing, if any, are unknown.
