LAPD officers fire at attack suspect, search continues

Los Angeles police are searching for a man who may have been wounded by officers after allegedly attacking a woman inside a car early Sunday morning.

Police fired at the man when they came to investigate a report of a woman screaming in the 1300 block of Ingraham Street about 3:35 a.m., said Officer Norma Eisenman. They found a man and woman in the back of a parked, dark-colored SUV.

Officers thought the man was attacking the woman and broke the car window after finding the door was locked. Police then fired at the man. But it is unclear if the suspect was wounded, Eisenman said.

The man then drove away with the woman still inside the car, although she managed to escape about a block away, she said.

The woman was taken to a hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, Eisenman said.

The man remains at large and the investigation is continuing.
