Description: Los Angeles, California — On Sunday, November 18, 2018, around 3:40 p.m., uniformed Hollywood Patrol Division officers were northbound on Western Avenue, south of Santa Monica Boulevard, when they initiated a traffic stop of a black Range Rover with paper plates. The driver of the Range Rover, later identified as Harut Torossyan, stopped his vehicle but then fled at a high rate of speed. The officers gave chase and initiated a vehicle pursuit. The vehicle pursuit entered the southbound Hollywood Freeway. Torossyan was confronted with a heavy volume of vehicular traffic and elected to exit the Range Rover on the freeway in the area of the Melrose Avenue exit. Torossyan was observed to be in possession of a handgun as he fled on foot across the northbound lanes of traffic, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS). The passenger, later identified as Freddrick Osorio, remained with the vehicle and was taken into custody without further incident. Metropolitan Division K9 personnel responded to a prowler radio call at an apartment complex located in the 800 block Normandie Avenue and took Torossyan into custody. Torossyan sustained a gunshot graze wound to the top of his head and torso area and was transported to a local hospital where he was treated. A semi-automatic handgun was located and recovered adjacent to the northbound freeway entrance ramp where Torossyan was last seen fleeing the location. Torossyan was booked for Assault with a Deadly Weapon (semi-auto handgun) on a Police Officer. Osorio was booked for an unrelated prior robbery. No officers were injured during the incident.
