An eight-month old puppy survived being thrown from a moving vehicle during a two-hour 100mph police chase in Los Angeles, according to police.
Southeast officers on Friday witnessed the dog bundled into a designer bag and tossed from a car window as they chased down a wanted suspect in connection to an attempted murder and carjacking that took place on 26 March.
The winding pursuit traveled through multiple cities within the county, coming to a stop in Carson, at Vermont Avenue and Belson Street. LAPD arrested three in connection to the pursuit.
The LAPD said in a statement: ‘Miraculously the dog emerged unharmed and was rescued by responding LAPD officers.
‘The puppy is now in the care of South L.A. Animal Services, where it is presently being held pending an investigation into the abandonment concern that was noted during the pursuit.’
