A report of domestic violence led to a short police pursuit and an hours-long standoff that eventually ended without incident in South Los Angeles, authorities said Monday.

Los Angeles Police Department officers tried to stop a vehicle about 11:30 a.m. Monday after receiving a report of a domestic violence and assault with a deadly weapon.

The driver refused to stop and led police on a brief pursuit; the vehicle crashed into a van at East 60th Street and Holmes Avenue in the Florence-Firestone area of South L.A.

Weapons also were recovered, the LAPD said.
