BIZARRE: Brush fire, police chase, standoff suspect in custody in Malibu, CA

Authorities were in pursuit of a truck hauling a small trailer in the Malibu area Tuesday afternoon.

The pursuit started at about 1:55 p.m.

The Los Angeles Police Department initiated the pursuit near Victory Boulevard and De Soto Avenue in the Topanga area after the suspect allegedly hit a couple of parked cars and continued driving, according to LAPD Officer Mike Chan.

Shortly before 2:30 p.m., the driver stopped along PCH and Carbon Canyon Road, and at least six LAPD units were waiting behind.

Several police units are now in a standoff situation on PCH with the suspect in the vehicle.

Authorities believe sparks from the broken axle of the driver's trailer may have sparked a nearby brush fire on N. Topanga Canyon Blvd.

The "Topanga Fire" quickly grew to more than 7-acres as firefighters worked to contain the blaze, the Los Angeles County Fire Department reported.
