VIDEO: K-9 tackles hot prowl suspect twice

LOS ANGELES, CA -- A K-9 helped take down a hot prowl suspect on the run from police in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon, and it was all caught on camera.

Los Angeles police responded to the call of a hot prowler and set up a perimeter.

The suspect led officers on a foot chase over steep and rugged terrain, at one point taking his shirt off as he ran through shrubs.

A K-9 eventually caught up to the suspect, who would not give up his attempt to escape.

After several nips and bites, the K-9, named "Don," lunged and began to pull the suspect down the steep hill.

The suspect tried to run again and the K-9 pulled him down one more time.

Officers were eventually able to surround the suspect and he surrendered.

The suspect was taken away from the scene in an ambulance. Police did not confirm the extent of the suspect's injuries.

There were no injuries to the K-9 or other officers, according to officials.
