LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles police officers opened fire on a suspect armed with a machete. He attacked another man inside a food truck, and then smashed the vehicle into two parked cars.
The incident happened on Saturday shortly before 4 a.m. at Beverly Boulevard and Berendo Street in the Westlake District.
Investigators say the victim was eating outside the taco truck when he was attacked by a machete wielding suspect.
The man with the machete then dragged the victim into the food truck. The two employees inside managed to escape before the suspect took off and crashed the truck into several parked cars.
When officers arrived, the suspect exited the truck carrying a bloody machete.

Doesn’t sound like he worked in the truck. He just stole it.

Westlake district is where most “si si puede” rallies originate. Interesting place... once you get out of the subway, someone sells you fake Cali Drivers licenses.

There are only about 150 people in my metropolis. It was quiet out there at 4AM this morning but I did see a couple of shooting stars.

Always give correct change.
