A teenage boy who was reported missing out of South Los Angeles on Saturday morning was arrested after leading Los Angeles police on a pursuit in a possibly stolen vehicle from Valley Glen to neighboring North Hollywood, authorities said.

The pursuit began about 3 p.m. in the area of Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Victory Boulevard, LAPD Officer Mike Lopez said.

During the pursuit, the suspect collided with another vehicle in the area of Saticoy Street and Vineland Avenue, but continued his attempt to flee, Lopez said.

He then ran into the wall of a building in the 7200 block of Troost Avenue just north of Sherman Way. The teenager “received some injuries” and was taken into custody, Lopez said.

Officers later discovered the teenager was in a missing persons report filed with LAPD’s 77th Division in South L.A.

Further details, including why officers attempted to pull the vehicle over, were not immediately available.
