LAPD Cops Wound Machete Attacker, After Taco Truck Joyride

Los Angeles Police officers wounded a machete-wielding man who slashed a patron at a taco truck, took the truck on a joyride, and shook off an attempt to subdue him with a stun gun.

The man attacked the victim who was dining at the truck at about 4 a.m. Saturday on Beverly Boulevard. After whacking the man, the attacker jumped into the truck, pulled the bleeding victim inside and drove off.

Responding officers reached the scene where the man crashed the truck at Beverly and Berendo Street. The officers ordered the man out of the truck. Officers then shot and wounded the man, after several deployments of their TASERs.
