The pursuit began about 9:40 a.m. in the area of Vanowen Street and Noble Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The suspect -- wanted for an unspecified felony -- drove in circles through the neighborhood, at times reaching speeds over 80 mph, weaving through traffic, entering opposing lanes and speeding through residential streets.

The chase ended around 10:30 a.m. when the driver stopped and surrendered in the area of Vanowen Street and Cedros Avenue, roughly two blocks from where the pursuit began.

Broadcast reports indicated the suspect may have been armed, but police did not confirm whether a weapon was recovered.
