Man taken into custody after fleeing police on beach, jumping into ocean

A man was taken into custody after leading police on a chase from South LA to Playa Del Rey Saturday afternoon. 

The chase started near Broadway and Slauson and continued southbound on the 110 before getting on the 105 and eventually the 405 freeways. 

Video from SkyFox shows the suspect driving onto a beach near Culver Blvd. and Vista Del Mar. 

At a slow speed the suspect drives on the sand and even into the water before getting stuck and stopping in front of a barrier. 

When the suspect exited the vehicle he was seen with a drink in his hands. The man then walks into the ocean, throws his bottle on the floor and jumps into the ocean for a swim. 

Dozens of officers swarmed the beach and brought the suspect into custody a few minutes later. Initial reports indicate the vehicle may have been stolen.
