Police cornered a man who ditched a stolen car when officers tried to pull him over in East Long Beach Sunday morning, according to the department.

Officers originally were called about the stolen vehicle around 8:10 a.m. near Termino Avenue and 11th Street, LBPD spokesman Brandon Fahey said.

The suspect ended up ditching the stolen vehicle and fleeing on foot, prompting police to set up a perimeter and call in a police helicopter while they searched for him near the Rose Park neighborhood.

Officers found him on Redondo Avenue near Eighth Street, but he refused to comply, so they used a K9 to take him into custody, Fahey said.

The suspect was taken to a hospital to treat minor injuries from the K9 bite, and he will be booked into the Long Beach Jail once doctors determine he’s OK, Fahey said.
