Stolen taxi crashes into LA coffee shop
LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles police say what started as an attempted carjacking led to a taxi smashing into a coffee shop, ending a wild midnight crime spree.
Two people are under arrest.
Lt. Jeff Pailet says the trouble started shortly before midnight Monday when a man and woman beat up a driver in Hollywood during a failed carjacking, then got into a cab but later fled with the driver's cell phone.
Pailet says the pair then stole an unattended taxi that had its keys inside and led police on a two-minute chase that ended with the taxi ramming into a closed coffee shop.
Surprisingly, nobody was seriously hurt.
